Mark Melancon earned his fourth save of the year in the Padres' win over the Rangers on Saturday.
Fantasy Impact:
Melancon struck out 1 in the outing, and was able to retire the side in order. Some wonder if Melancon will continue to be the Padres' closer throughout the season. Manager Jayce Tingler clearly has confidence in him, considering he has been given the ball in four opportunities for saves early in the season. Melancon is 4-4 in those opportunities and has not yet allowed an earned run. If Melancon keeps this form up, it's hard to imagine Tingler giving the ball to anyone else in the short term to close games.
