The two saves are the only ones of his career, and he went from pitching for an out-of-contention team to getting meaningful innings for a surging Rangers squad.
"I'm definitely enjoying it," Dyson said. "I wouldn't say I'm like a pressure freak or anything, but it's definitely nice to get out there when the game is on the line, just from an adrenaline standpoint."
With Rangers closer Shawn Tolleson needing a day of rest after appearing in six of the last seven games, Dyson got the ball in a one-run game. He allowed a leadoff single to Marwin Gonzalez, but then got Jason Castro out on a dribbler in front of the plate.
