Dyson pitched a perfect two-thirds of an inning to earn the save Tuesday against the Marlins.
Dyson came into the game with one on and one out in the ninth and induced a game-ending double-play ball on his second pitch, notching his second save of the year. Dyson now sports a 2.45 ERA and 0.97 WHIP while holding opponents to a .193 batting average. The 30-year-old figures to share the closer's role with lefty Tony Watson while everyday closer Hunter Strickland recovers from a broken hand. Dyson was 14-for-17 in save opportunities with the Giants in 2017, but it will be interesting to see if the Giants consider moving Mark Melancon back into the ninth-inning role at some point during Strickland's absence.
