What happened: Carson Seymour worked the ninth inning, allowing one run on one hit while striking out one without a walk. Nate Furman reached his milestone after his contract was selected Aug. 1.
Why it matters: Seymour became the 10th pitcher to record a save for the club this season. Furman's breakthrough gives him a foundation for a larger role during the stretch run.
By the numbers: Seymour has a 5.19 ERA, 14 strikeouts and seven walks across 17⅓ innings in 2026. He has one save and two holds in 10 appearances.
What to watch: Seymour's next assignment could clarify his late-inning role. Furman's playing time will determine how quickly he can build on his first hit.
