Bard secured the save after giving up one hit in a scoreless inning Monday against Pittsburgh.
EDGE Analysis
Bard was deployed in the ninth with a two-run lead, and after surrendering a leadoff single, he retired the next three batters to collect the save. It was a good sign to see the 36-year-old bounce back after blowing a save in his last outing Friday against Milwaukee, his fifth blown save of the campaign. Bard owns a 4.45 ERA and 1.58 WHIP with 41 punchouts across 32.1 innings on the season following Monday's outing.

Bard allowed two runs on one hit and one walk while striking out three in one inning to take the blown save in Friday's loss to the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Bard picked up his 10th save of the season in Wednesday's win over the Mariners, but he was unable to preserve the two-run lead in Friday's matchup. The right-hander still likely has decent job security as the Rockies' closer given the team's lack of other options, but he's been charged with a loss and a blown save across his last three appearances.
