Carlos Marmol - R - Chicago Cubs

Carlos Marmol tossed a scoreless ninth for his 13th save of the season in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Cardinals.
Daniel Descalso started the inning with a single and Tyler Greene stole second base after entering the game as a pinch-runner, but Marmol was able to retire the final three batters he faced without incident. Believe it or not, the erratic right-hander has converted 11 straight save opportunities since regaining the closer role in mid-June. It's still awfully tough to trust him, though.
