Scott picked up the save in a win over the White Sox on Saturday, allowing one hit and one walk over a scoreless 1.2 innings while striking out three. Scott took the mound in the eighth inning with the bases loaded and one out. He got Dominic Fletcher to ground into a double play to end the threat, then returned for the top of the ninth with a four-run lead. In that frame, Scott got the first two batters to go down on strikes before allowing a single to Chuckie Robinson and then a walk to Miguel Vargas. However, the right-handed reliever managed to get the last batter to go down swinging for the final out, notching his 22nd save of the campaign and only his second this month. It also marked Scott's fourth outing this season in which he posted at least three strikeouts, and he now carries a robust 17:5 K:BB in September. Robert Suarez remains San Diego's preferred recipient of save opportunities, but manager Mike Shildt didn't deploy him Saturday after the right-hander blew a save and threw 27 pitches Friday.

Scott picked up a save against Houston on Wednesday by retiring both batters he faced, including one by strikeout. Dylan Cease gave San Diego 8.1 scoreless frames, and Scott was brought in to finish off the Astros with a pair of runners on base in the ninth. The reliever struck out Yordan Alvarez, then got Alex Bregman to fly out to end the game. The save was Scott's 21st of the season but his first since Aug. 27, as most of his saves came while he was with Miami prior to the trade deadline. Robert Suarez, who pitched the previous three days, remains the most likely Padres reliever to handle save chances for the club.

Scott gave up a hit and struck out one in a scoreless 10th inning Saturday to record his 19th save of the season in a 9-8 win over the Marlins. Facing the club that sent him west at the trade deadline, Scott needed only 12 pitches (eight strikes) to dispatch his former teammates in the 10th after Robert Suarez had worked a perfect ninth. It was Scott's first save in a Padres uniform, and he also has a win and two holds in five appearances for San Diego with a 3.86 ERA and 5:3 K:BB in 4.2 innings. While Suarez remains entrenched as the closer, Scott has quickly found a home in the high-leverage crew.

Scott earned a save against the Orioles on Wednesday, issuing one walk and striking out one batter over one scoreless inning. Scott entered in the top of the ninth and issued a leadoff walk, but that was wiped out when the next batter he faced grounded into a double play. The left-handed closer then got Ramon Urias to strike out to finish off the victory. The save was the second in as many days for Scott, and he extended his streak of scoreless outings to 16. Over that stretch, Scott has gone 10-for-10 in save opportunities while posting a 20:6 K:BB across 16.2 frames.

Scott struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Mets. Scott extended his scoreless streak to 14 straight appearances as he mowed down the Mets in another stellar performance. The 2024 All-Star has not allowed a run since June 13 and is looking like one of the more attractive ninth-inning options available at the trade deadline. The 29-year-old has a 1.27 ERA and 1.01 WHIP with 48 strikeouts over 42.2 innings this season.
