Summary

The veteran pitcher completed a 1-2-3 inning on 11 pitches to close the contest. Over his two seasons in Boston, Chapman has recorded 32 saves in each campaign with a combined 1.57 ERA and 0.89 WHIP. His performance has prompted discussion regarding his standing among the franchise's all-time closers.

The left-hander is now one save away from becoming the ninth player in MLB history to reach the 400-save milestone.
