Giants reliever Jean Machi got a rare save Friday, with a multi-inning effort in a 6-2 win over the Twins.
Machi recorded five outs while facing just four batters, as he closed out the eighth inning with a double play which retired an inherited runner. He closed out the ninth inning with ease as well, finished with one strikeout in 1 2/3 innings, while using just 13 pitches.
Machi has been a weapon out of the bullpen for the Giants, posting an 0.37 ERA and 0.86 WHIP in 24 1/3 innings of work.
