PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Tanner Scott gave up a leadoff single in the ninth inning and still managed to become the fifth pitcher since 1988 to get a three-pitch save while facing three batters.
The Dodgers closer finished a 3-1 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday that improved Los Angeles to 9-1.
Scott allowed a leadoff single to Bryce Harper on a slider, got Alex Bohm to ground a fastball into a 6-4-3 double play and retired Max Kepler on a flyout with a fastball for his third save.
Since MLB started tracking pitch counts in 1988, the only others to achieve the feat were Pittsburgh's Barry Jones at the New York Mets on Oct.
