Bryan Shaw picked up his first save of the season in Tuesday's win over the Twins, allowing one unearned run in one inning of work.
Shaw got the save opportunity as closer John Axford had pitched in three consecutive days with poor results. Axford doesn't appear to have job insecurity at the moment, but that could change with a couple more shaky outings. In that case, Shaw and Cody Allen would be the top candidates for save chances. Shaw allowed the one run as a result of Asdrubal Cabrera's fielding error with two outs in the ninth, prolonging the game. It was followed up by an Eduardo Escobar RBI double.
