Tanner Scott discussed recording a four-out save for the Los Angeles Dodgers against the Colorado Rockies on August 18, 2026, describing the outing as "a four-out save for you tonight."
Scott said he approaches outs one pitch and one hitter at a time, noting, "one pitch at a time. I mean, one hitter at a time." He added that even after allowing a run during the outing, the priority was finishing the game with a win since the lead remained. "We still have the lead and I mean the biggest thing is to end the ball game with us winning," he said.
Asked about his mindset in the closer role, which he has held for most of the season, Scott explained that he waits for the call regardless of timing. "I just wait for the phone to ring. I don't care when," he stated.
Scott also noted the wind picked up in the last inning at Coors Field, which felt unusual, though he said he tried to treat the situation normally. He dismissed the idea of trying to be too fine or perfect with his pitches in the ballpark, mentioning that he simply treats it "like a normal situation."
Scott acknowledged the team has talent and needs to move past a rough stretch by focusing on winning the next game. "We got a really good team and uh I mean, we had a rough couple games, but uh move on to the next one," he said, closing his remarks with that outlook heading into the next game.
