Baker earned the save in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Red Sox after tossing a perfect ninth inning. Baker was brought in to close things out for a second straight night, and he needed just 13 pitches (seven strikes) to do so Tuesday. He's converted seven straight save opportunities, and his 18 saves are tied with Mason Miller for second most in the majors behind Cade Smith (21). Given that he's come out of the bullpen in two consecutive games, it's unlikely that Baker will be deployed for Wednesday's series finale against Boston.
