Ryan Pressly hasn’t earned a save since April 13 against the Dodgers and was demoted as the closer following a disastrous outing in which he gave up nine runs (eight earned) without recording an out against the Giants on May 6. The offense wasn’t doing him many favors by building several big leads and eliminating save opportunities, but Pressly’s inability to miss bats was bound to bite him at some point.

It wasn’t until his Sunday outing against the Reds in which he struck out all three batters he faced that Pressly had punched out multiple batters in a game.
