Trevor Megill puts exclamation point on season turnaround with validating award

Trevor Megill earned his first Reliever of the Month Award for August after a dramatic turnaround from early-season struggles with the Milwaukee Brewers. In August alone, Megill pitched 12 innings across 11 appearances with a 0.00 ERA, converting all eight save opportunities while allowing just two hits and three walks. Since mid-May, when his ERA stood at 6.00 and he had lost the closer role to Abner Uribe, Megill has posted a 0.70 ERA over 38.1 innings with 40 strikeouts, reclaiming his position as the team's closer and restoring his fastball velocity that had been diminished by a forearm flexor strain.
