Nunez struck out two batters in a scoreless frame to earn the save in Friday's 7-4 win over the Tigers. After Friday's win, Nunez now has a 4.94 ERA and 1.18 WHIP with four saves, two blown saves and six holds across 24 appearances. Nunez got the opportunity to close out the game after the Orioles used Rico Garcia in a high leverage situation earlier in the game.
