Aroldis Chapman got the save (and he also made history).

MLB wrote: “Aroldis Chapman picks up his 30th save of 2026! He joins an elite list of Hall Famers to have 10+ 30-save seasons: Mariano Rivera, 15 Trevor Hoffman, 14 Lee Smith, 10 Aroldis Chapman, 10”

After the game, manager Chad Tracy spoke about Chapman when he met with the media (h/t NESN).

Tracy: “And you’ve got Chappy, he’s been a godsend as far as being able to have some back-end guys with big, big stuff to come in and wipe some innings out. He’s been everything as advertised. He’s been so good for us since we got him.”
