Colome notched his eighth save of the season in Thursday's 5-1 victory over the Marlins, striking out the only batter he faced to close out the game.
The ninth inning began as a non-save situation with the Rays up by a 5-0 margin, but Colome was called upon with two out, two on and one run in. The Rays closer disposed of the capable Martin Prado on five pitches, the final one a swinging strike, to seal the win. After a pair of rough outings in late April tarnished his once-unblemished ERA, Colome has responded with 2.2 scoreless frames, four strikeouts and three saves in as many chances over his subsequent appearances.
