Carlos Marmol pitched a scoreless inning of relief against the Reds Tuesday in an extra-innings loss. More impressively, he struck out three while walking a batter. It was his second consecutive impressive performance -- he pitched a perfect ninth Monday against the Reds for his 32nd save -- after Marmol gave up four runs and took a loss on Saturday. The implosion caused Mike Quade to hand Sean Marshall the save on Sunday, but it appears that Marmol is back in the good graces of management.
