Pirates' Mark Melancon contains Cubs for 46th save in Game 1

Pirates closer Mark Melancon struck out a pair in a perfect ninth inning to preserve the 5-4 win in Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cubs. Melancon needed 14 pitches to retire the side in order and collect his league-leading 46th save.

Melancon has been a little off lately, allowing five runs in his last six appearances. But he still owns a highly respectable 2.00 ERA and is 46-for-48 in save chances this season.
