He was allowed to come back for 11th and permitted a walk-off, bases-loaded single.

The save was the first of his career for Weissert, who has been used mainly in lower-leverage situations this season. He has just two holds over 37 appearances while posting a 3.41 ERA and 39:9 :BB across 37 innings.
