Scott worked a perfect ninth inning Tuesday to record his 20th save of the season in a 7-5 win over the Cardinals.
The southpaw fired 10 of 15 pitches for strikes as he collected his second save since being traded to the Padres. Robert Suarez was unavailable after pitching each of the prior two days, but he's also been tagged for a run in four of his last eight appearances. If Suarez's struggles continue, Scott could get the call in the ninth more frequently over the final weeks of the season as San Diego looks to lock down a playoff spot.
