Santiago Casilla locks down emergency save

by Waleed Hawatky | Wed, Apr 25th 12:55pm EDT

Santiago Casilla pitched a perfect inning in relief to secure his first save of the season.

Fantasy Impact:

Casilla barely made the club after a rough season last year and an uninspiring Spring but came in and secured the save when Blake Treinen Treinen took a 105 mph line drive off the shin in the eighth inning. Casilla certainly has experience in the ninth inning having put in back-to-back seasons with 30+ saves for the Giants before joining the A's across the bay. Although manager Bob Melvin expects Treinen to be ok, Casilla may be in line for a save or two if the bruise lingers.
