Caleb Thielbar struck out two in a perfect ninth Saturday against the Mets for the Cubs’ first save since Daniel Palencia went on the IL.

It’s Thielbar’s sixth career save in 10 seasons. Ben Brown set him up by allowing only an unearned run between the seventh and eighth. Brown is the guy with closer-type stuff in the Cubs pen right now, but the team obviously wants him to continue throwing multiple innings at a time. He still might wind up with the occasional save, but Thielbar and Jacob Webb are also going to factor in here.
