Trivino got the save against the Royals on Friday, striking out two in his 1.1 innings of work to lock down Oakland's eventual 7-2 victory.
Oakland opted to give regular closer Blake Treinen the day off in this one, allowing Trivino to fill in and bag his first save of the campaign with a clean effort. Trivino has been putting up great numbers with a 1.82 ERA over his 24.2 innings this season. However, any potential upside as a secondary source of saves is limited by Treinen, who has been absolutely lights out in his own right this year with a sub-1.00 ERA and WHIP and has seemed pretty entrenched as the primary option in the ninth inning.
