Ellard pitched the ninth inning and earned a save against Oakland on Sunday. He struck out one and allowed a solo homer.
Ellard coughed up a solo shot to Shea Langeliers but still escaped with his first career save. The White Sox continue to spread ninth-inning work around the bullpen when a rare save opportunity presents itself. With Jordan Leasure (shoulder) still on the injured list, no active pitcher on the roster has multiple saves this season. Ellard owns a 3.06 ERA with a 22:8 K:BB through 18 MLB appearances.
