WASHINGTON -- There will not be a save in the box score next to Josh Collmenter's name after his outing Tuesday night, but the D-backs' right-hander has certainly saved his bullpen mates twice in the last four days.
After tossing 4 2/3 innings Saturday, Collmenter went 3 2/3 frames of one-hit ball Tuesday in the D-backs' 6-4 loss to the Nationals, and in both instances his extended work helped keep the bullpen from being blown out.
"I thought Colly did a great job again of settling it down and giving us a chance to win," D-backs manager Chip Hale said.
