Secures second save

Lovelady pitched a perfect ninth inning to pick up the save over the Guardians on Thursday.

Analysis

Lovelady relieved Manuel Rodriguez to open the bottom of the ninth and managed to retire the side in order on just six pitches to lock down his second save of the campaign. It was a nice bounceback performance for the southpaw after he surrendered two runs and took the loss in his previous outing on Tuesday. It also marked Lovelady's first save opportunity since Aug. 17 against the Diamondbacks and he's now held opponents scoreless in six of his last seven relief appearances.
