Juan Morillo picks up first save of season Wednesday

Juan Morillo pitched a perfect tenth inning on Wednesday to pick up his first save of the season as the Diamondbacks earned an 8-5, 10-inning victory over the Orioles.

Fantasy Impact:

Morillo was called upon to preserve a three-run lead in the bottom of the tenth and he needed just 11 pitches to retire the Orioles in order. The save was the second of his major league career as he bounced back nicely from his rough performance the night before. Morillo has a 3.00 ERA with six holds this season for Arizona. He gave closer Paul Sewald a breather on Wednesday and appears to be next in line for save opportunities should anything happen.
