McGee earned the save Saturday against the Guardians after tossing a scoreless ninth inning, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out one.

EDGE Analysis

McGee pitched in the ninth inning for the first time this season and while he got the job done, it wasn't easy. Needing to protect a two-run lead, McGee gave up a single to Josh Naylor and walked Owen Miller before finding himself with runners on the corners and just one out. However, he struck out Oscar Mercado and retired Myles Straw on a groundout to record his first save of the campaign. While McGee was originally expected to be the leading alternative for saves, a live-armed Camilo Doval, who was likely unavailable Saturday after being used heavily this week, seems to be ahead of the veteran McGee in the pecking order in the early going.
