What's Happening?
Abner Uribe of the Milwaukee Brewers secured a save in the team's victory over the San Diego Padres, pitching a hitless and scoreless ninth inning. Uribe, who entered the game with a two-run lead, issued one walk and struck out one batter. This save marks
his second in May, tying him with Trevor Megill for the team lead with four saves this season. Uribe's performance suggests he may have an edge in the Brewers' ninth-inning role, as Megill has not recorded a save since mid-April.
Why It's Important?
