RecapRobert Suarez spun 1 1/3 scoreless innings in Wednesday’s Game 2 win over the Cubs to record his first save of the postseason.
Suarez was summoned to protect a two-run lead in the eighth inning and got some help from defensive wizard Fernando Tatis Jr., who made a tremendous grab in the right-field corner to end the frame. The 34-year-old stopper came back out to work the final frame and managed to slam the door. He got Ian Happ to fly out harmlessly to left field before surrendering a one-out single to Kyle Tucker, which made things interesting. He managed to escape the jam by coaxing a game-ending double play from Seiya Suzuki to seal the win.
