Reds' Ian Gibaut: Picks up third save
Rotowire
Gibaut tossed a perfect ninth inning to pick up the save in Sunday's 4-2 victory over Pittsburgh.
Despite having already worked both Friday and Saturday, Gibaut was called upon Sunday to close out the game in favor of closer Alexis Diaz, who worked the eighth after he had allowed seven runs over his previous two appearances. The save was Gibaut's third of the season. With the Reds' playoff hopes now hanging by a thread and considering the recent struggles by Diaz, it will be interesting to see if Gibaut or another reliever can pose as a threat for the closer role the rest of the way.
