Abner Uribe Secures Second May Save for Brewers

abner uribe finished the ninth inning Tuesday with a save for the Brewers, working a hitless, scoreless frame after entering with a two-run lead. The right-hander has now picked up his second save in May and is tied for Milwaukee's team lead with four on the season.

Uribe Handles the Ninth

Uribe allowed one walk and struck out one, but he did not give the Padres anything else in the inning. He entered with the game in hand and left it there, ending the night without any damage.

That clean finish came with Trevor Megill working the eighth inning instead of the ninth. Megill has not recorded a save since April 17, while Uribe has pushed into the front of the late-inning picture.

Brewers Bullpen Shift

The save split now has Uribe and Megill tied at four apiece. That leaves Milwaukee with a clearer picture than it had earlier in the month, and Tuesday's inning choice showed where the Brewers turned when the game was on the line.

Uribe's run in May has been steady. The second save in the month adds another point in his favor as Milwaukee keeps sorting out the ninth inning, with Megill still in the mix but no longer handling the role on Tuesday.

Megill's Last Save

April 17 is the last date Megill saved a game, and he has gone without one since then. Uribe's work against the Padres gave Milwaukee another late-inning option that has produced in the moment, and the Brewers now have two relievers tied at the top while the ninth inning tilts toward Uribe.
