Collects save with one pitch Sanders was credited with the save in Friday's 6-5 win over the Rays after recording the final out.

Impact Yanier Cano was brought in for the ninth inning to secure the Orioles' 6-2 lead, but he proceeded to five up three runs before Sanders was summoned from the bullpen. Sanders answered the call, with his first pitch of the frame resulting in a flyout by Ryan Vilade. The Orioles are still searching for their fill-in closer in the absence of Ryan Helsley (elbow) and Felix Bautista (shoulder), but that's unlikely to be Sanders, who has appeared in three games out of the bullpen since he was recalled from Triple-A Norkolk on Monday.

The 29-year-old picked up his first major-league win and save in his first two outings with the Orioles after debuting with the club Friday. On the year, he owns a 7.36 ERA, 1.73 WHIP and 15:10 K:BB across 11 innings with Pittsburgh and Baltimore.

After striking out Isaac Paredes and getting Christian Walker to pop out, the 29-year-old was in line for the win after Taylor Ward hit the go-ahead homer in the eighth.

Acquired by Baltimore The Orioles acquired Sanders from the Pirates on Monday in exchange for cash considerations, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Baltimore transferred Keegan Akin (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL to free up a spot on the 40-man roster for Sanders, who was subsequently optioned to Triple-A Norfolk. The 29-year-old right-hander had made nine appearances out of the Pittsburgh bullpen this season, posting an 8.68 ERA, 2.04 WHIP and 13:10 K:BB in 9.1 innings.

Sanders has struggled in the big leagues up to this point but owns a 2.96 ERA through 24.1 innings in the minors, which could draw interest on the waiver wire from bullpen-needy teams.
