Picks up first save Chafin snagged his first save of the season Tuesday night, striking out one in a scoreless inning of work to wrap up a 4-3 victory over Cleveland.

Impact Summoned to protect a one-run lead in extra innings with a ghost runner behind him, Chafin needed just seven pitches to emerge from the high-leverage spot with his first save of the season. The self-described "failed starter" has been pretty dang successful since moving from the Cubs to the Athletics, as he has yet to allow a run or walk a batter in seven appearances with Oakland this season.

Off to strong start in Oakland Chafin has posted 2.2 scoreless innings across his first three appearances with the Athletics since his trade from the Cubs last Monday.

Impact The 31-year-old southpaw was considered an excellent trade-deadline addition to an already strong bullpen, and Chafin has wasted no time in validating that sentiment. The fact Chafin has also been immediately put to work by manager Bob Melvin certainly bodes well for his chances of continuing to add to his already impressive tally of 17 holds.

Headed to Oakland Chafin was traded from the Cubs to the Athletics on Monday in exchange for Greg Deichmann and Daniel Palencia, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Impact One of the top relief arms for the Cubs this season, Chafin has pitched his way to a 2.06 ERA and 0.84 WHIP with a 37:12 K:BB and 17 holds across 39.1 frames in 2021. Per Jeff Passan of ESPN.com, the deal won't become official until both teams review the medical records of all players involved, but all signs point to the trade getting done. He'll join Lou Trivino and Sergio Romo at the back of Oakland's bullpen.

Scoreless streak ends Chafin (0-2) allowed three runs on two hits and two walks while not recording an out to take the loss Saturday against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Before Saturday, Chafin hadn't allowed a run since May 7, a streak of 24.1 innings. However, he was touched up by his former team, and the lefty's ERA climbed from 1.37 to 2.06 in the process. Chafin has still been solid for the Cubs and should remain a dependable bullpen arm despite the rough outing.
