Grabs first career save Zuniga picked up the save Wednesday against the Marlins, recording a strikeout over three perfect innings.

Zuniga's made just five appearances in the big leagues over the past two seasons with Anaheim and St. Louis -- he struggled to a 7.63 ERA across 30.2 innings in Triple-A last year.

MAY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
