RecapCaleb Thielbar retired the only two batters he faced on the way to securing the save against the Phillies on Tuesday night.
Thielbar entered the game to chaos after Jacob Webb let the tying run reach the plate in the ninth inning. An error by Scott Kingery didn’t help, but Thielbar had to face lefty-masher Edmundo Sosa and then Trea Turner with the same in the balance and did so with ease. Since Daniel Palencia was surprisingly placed on the injured list late last week, Thielbar has two saves and a win in his only three appearances as the undisputed closer in Chicago.
