Steven Okert recorded his first save in 232 career relief appearances with a scoreless ninth Wednesday against the Dodgers.
The Twins used their two best relievers, Brock Stewart and Griffin Jax, against the top and middle of the Dodgers lineup in the seventh and eighth innings. That left Okert for the ninth, and though both left-handed hitters he was due to face got lifted for pinch-hitters, he earned the save while allowing just a lone single from Will Smith. Okert has allowed one run in four innings this season.
