What happened: Four days after Bryan Baker recorded his 30th save, the right-hander added another to move atop the majors. He had reached 28 saves on July 26.

Why it matters: The league lead puts Baker in position to shape the 2026 saves race through the final two months. It also underscores his rapid move from setup work to full-time ninth-inning duty.

What to watch: His next save opportunity could extend the lead as the schedule moves deeper into August.
