Mejia's One-Pitch Save Secures Rockies Victory
11 Jul
Summary
- Juan Mejia secured a save with a single pitch Friday.
- Jordan Romano struggled, issuing two walks in the ninth.
- A reviewed single advanced runners before the final out.

Juan Mejia secured a dramatic one-pitch save for the Rockies on Friday against the Giants. He entered the game in the ninth inning with his team leading 4-2. However, the situation became precarious as Romano walked two of the three batters he faced.
Adding to the drama, a liner to center was initially ruled an out but a subsequent review correctly awarded a single, loading the bases. After a sacrifice fly and another walk, the game's fate rested on Bryce Eldridge. Mejia then entered and induced a ground ball on his first pitch, sealing the victory and his fourth save this season.
