Records second save Middleton picked up the save in Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Orioles. He gave up a hit with no walks and no strikeouts in his lone inning of work. Impact Middleton pitched the seventh inning in Game 2, and while he only tossed 10 of his 17 pitches for strikes, that was enough to get the job done. The 27-year-old right-hander, who allowed a single to Rio Ruiz but recorded the three outs with two groundouts and a flyout to right, has not allowed runs in three of his four appearances this season while going 2-for-2 in save opportunities, so he might be in line for high-leverage duties going forward, though Rafael Montero and Kendall Graveman are ahead of him in the pecking order.
