Mark Melancon pitched a pair of scoreless frames Tuesday against the Astros.
Those hoping Will Smith would overtake Melancon for the closer's role this spring are probably going to wind up disappointing; Melancon has thrown five scoreless innings with a 6/0 K/BB ratio to date. Smith is likely to be the superior reliever, of course, but Melancon figures to get the save chances in the early going. Mar 10 5:18 pm (EST)
- Melancon is expected to remain as the Braves' primary closer next season, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
- Melancon didn't allow a baserunner and struck out two in the ninth inning to record the save Thursday against Philadelphia.
- Melancon allowed two hits but didn't yield a run during the ninth inning to record his 11th save in a 3-1 victory against the Phillies on Wednesday. All Mark Melancon (R) News
