Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Garrett Stallings records first MLB save in 20-0 win

Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Garrett Stallings earned his first MLB save during a 20-0 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on September 11. Under league rules, a pitcher qualifies for a save by completing the final three innings of a game regardless of the score. Stallings entered the contest in the seventh inning after starter Dustin May and allowed only one walk during his three-inning stint. This performance marked the first time a pitcher registered a save in a shutout game where the winning team scored at least 16 runs since the save statistic was introduced in 1969. Stallings has appeared in five games this season for Milwaukee, recording 11 strikeouts and zero earned runs across 11 innings.
