Tampa Bay Rays reliever Austin Pruitt made history on Sunday, as he became the first pitcher in more than 15 years to record a five-inning save in the regular season.

Pruitt accomplished the feat in the Rays' 8-3 win over the visiting Baltimore Orioles on Sunday.

"I had one [save] last year that was three innings, but 5⅔ innings, that's lengthy," said Pruitt, who also started eight games last season for Tampa Bay.
