Rockies pitcher LaTroy Hawkins pitched a perfect ninth inning to record his second save of the season during Tuesday's 2-1 win over the A's. It was his first save since April 7.
John Axford, the Rockies normal reliever, was unavialable due to a family matter, leaving Hawkins as the man to get the save on Tuesday.
"Whether I'm pitching in the sixth inning or seventh inning, I try to do my job," Hawkins said, per MLB.com. "Sometimes it's passing the baton to the next guy and sometimes the guy is passing it to me."
