View More NewsDaniel Palencia earns save in game one of twinbill Sunday
Daniel Palencia recorded his first save of the season in game one of Sunday's doubleheader against Cleveland as he pitched a perfect ninth in Chicago's 1-0 victory in the opener.
Fantasy Impact
Palencia finally got his first save opportunity of the year and he retired the Guardians in order, with one strikeout, on just 13 pitches to preserve a 1-0 win. Palencia was 22-of-25 in save opportunities last season with the Cubs and looks to surpass that total in 2026. He has pitched three scoreless innings in three appearances for Chicago this season.
