Blach allowed a hit and a walk while striking out four in four perfect innings to earn the save in Sunday's win over the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

The southpaw made his 2022 debut Sunday and helped to keep the rest of the bullpen fresh after starter Antonio Senzatela lasted just 3.1 innings. Blah became the seventh Rockies pitcher to record a save of at least three innings and the first to do so since Chris Rusin accomplished the feat in May of 2017. Although Sunday's performance was encouraging after Blach missed most of the last two seasons due to Tommy John surgery, Daniel Bard, Alex Colome and Carlos Estevez are the favorites for save chances early in the season.
