PHILADELPHIA -- D-backs left-hander Vidal Nuno was optioned to Triple-A Reno following Friday night's game to make room for Saturday night's starter, Archie Bradley.
Nuno's time was brief, but he made a good impression with the coaching staff. He came to the rescue last Monday after starter Josh Collmenter was unable to get out of the second inning against the Nationals.
Nuno came in and threw 6 2/3 innings to spare the bullpen from being worn down.
"His changeup was better and he saved us, let's put it that way," D-backs manager Chip Hale said.
