Blade Tidwell Earns First MLB Save Hours After Triple-A Call-Up

Former Tennessee Volunteers pitcher Blade Tidwell made a stunning first impression on Thursday night, recording his first career MLB save just hours after being called up from Triple-A Sacramento. With his former college coach Tony Vitello watching from the dugout, Tidwell took the mound in San Francisco to secure the victory in storybook fashion. The performance highlights a rapid transition for the right-hander, who was immediately thrust into a high-leverage situation for the Giants.
