Johnson continues to get the job done for the Orioles, and has now set the team record for consecutive saves converted. 10 PC-9 ST (5/10/13) (SU) Darren O’Day (R)–Picked up his fifth hold of the season Wednesday after recording the first two outs of the eighth inning, both via the strikeout. With closer Jim Johnson pitching back-to-back days, there is a chance either O'Day or Pedro Strop will be used in the ninth inning on Thursday, if a save situation arises. 19 PC-14 ST (5/8/13) (MR) Pedro Strop (R)–Pitched a scoreless eighth inning Saturday night retiring all three batters he faced in order. Strop needed only 12 pitches to get through the appearance, forcing one ground ball out while striking out the other two batters and has now put together three straight solid outings. 12 PC-8 ST (5/11/13) Boston Red Sox (CL) Shaky  Junichi Tazawa (R)--Took the loss on Saturday after being used in a tied ball game in the ninth inning, allowing one run on two hits. In his first meaningful appearance as the team's closer, he failed to get the job done, but should get a few more chances to prove his worth before the Red Sox go with another option. 21 PC-13 ST (5/11/13) (SU) Koji Uehara (R)–Pitched a scoreless eighth inning Thursday striking out all three batters he faced in the inning. He needed only 14 pitches to work through the appearance, in was his most dominant outing of the season. 14 PC-10 ST (5/9/13) (MR) Andrew Miller (L)--Pitched a scoreless eighth inning Wednesday night striking out the sire on just 14 pitches. With the recent injuries to key players in the Red Sox bullpen, Miller will now move into a more meaningful role, which could result in an increase in fantasy value for those in holds leagues. 14 PC-9 ST (5/8/13) Injured-- Andrew Bailey (Biceps), Joel Hanrahan (Forearm)Chicago White Sox(CL) Solid Addison Reed (R)–Was used in a non-save situation Wednesday night allowing one run on three hits in the ninth inning. Luckily for Reed, the White Sox had a big enough cushion that the run did not hurt him, but he has now totaled three earned runs allowed over his last three innings of work. 27 PC-20 ST (5/8/13) (SU) Matt Thornton (L)–Pitched a scoreless seventh inning Saturday allowing one hit on 11 pitches thrown. This appearance was Thornton's first since Wednesday night so expect him to be available if needed on Sunday. 11 PC-6 ST (5/11/13) (SU) Jesse Crain (R)–Pitched the final two innings on Saturday night allowing one hit and one walk while striking out three batters. Crain needed 30 pitches to get through the appearance and may not be available to pitch on Sunday. 30 PC-18 ST (5/11/13) Cleveland Indians (CL) Solid Chris Perez (R)–Collected is sixth save of the season Saturday despite allowing one run (unearned) on two hits in the ninth inning. Perez had escaped a few rough innings over the last week, and if his struggles continue, he is bound to have a blowup or two along the way. 22 PC-15 ST (5/11/13) (SU) Joe Smith (R)--Picked up his fourth hold of the season Saturday after pitching a scoreless eighth inning allowing one walk on 19 pitches. Smith has filled in nicely for Vinny Pestano in the setup role, but once he returns from injury, Smith will lose any fantasy value he currently has in holds leagues. 19 PC-7 ST (5/11/13) (MR) Bryan Shaw (R)–Pitched 0.2 innings of relief on Friday allowing two hits while striking out one batter. Shaw escaped the appearance unharmed, but has allowed six base runners over his last three appearances, and if that pace continues, his luck will eventually run out. 13 PC-10 ST (5/10/13) Injured--Vinny Pestano (Elbow)Detroit Tigers(CL) Solid Jose Valverde (R)–Pitched a scoreless eighth inning Thursday retiring all three batters he faced in order on only seven pitches. This was Valverde's first appearance since last Friday, so despite it not being a save situation, the Tigers wanted him to get some work in so he wouldn't get rusty. 7 PC-5 ST (5/9/13) (SU) Joaquin Benoit (R)–Pitched a scoreless ninth inning on Friday night in a non-save situation allowing one hit on 12 pitches thrown. Benoit was able to force force one fly ball out while striking out one batter to get through the appearance, and has now pitched two of the last three days, but not consecutively. 12 PC-6 ST (5/10/13) (MR)  Al Alburquerque (R)--Pitched one inning of relief on Saturday allowing one run on three hits and two walks while striking out two batters. No one has questioned his arsenal, as he ma be the most talented pitcher int eh Tigers bullpen, but his lack of control has been his major issue early in his career, and won't have a more meaningful role until he puts it all together.  35 PC-19 ST (5/11/13) Injured– Octavio Dotel (Shoulder) Houston Astros (CL) Shaky Jose Veras (R)–Recorded his fourth save of the season Wednesday night after pitching a 1-2-3 ninth inning striking out one batter. Vera has now pitched back-to-back days, but may still be used if a save situation arises, considering he has kept low pitch counts over the last two days. 9 PC-6 ST (5/8/13) (SU) Wesley Wright (L)–Took the loss on Friday night after allowing a game-winning home run to John Baker in the seventh inning. This was Wright's first appearance since last Sunday, so expect to see more of him before this series is over. 16 PC-14 ST (5/10/13) (MR) Hector Ambriz (R)--Took the loss and was charged with a blown-save Thursday after allowing three runs on two hits and two walks in the seventh inning. Ambriz recorded only one out in the appearance, and has now allowed four earned-runs over his last 1.2 innings of work. 25 PC-13 ST (5/9/13) Injured–Josh Fields  (Forearm) Kansas City Royals (CL) Solid Greg Holland (R)–Was charged with a blown-save of the season Monday after allowing one run on four hits in the ninth inning. Holland has now pitched back-to-back days and will likely be unavailable to pitch on Tuesday when the Royals travel to Baltimore to take on the Orioles. 27 PC-13 ST (5/6/13) (SU) Kelvin Herrera (R)–Pitched a scoreless ninth inning Saturday in a non-save situation retiring all three batters he faced in order. Herrera has been shaky at best this season, but this outing proves he still has some confidence left to remain in a meaningful rolw int he Royals bullpen. 10 PC-8 ST (5/11/13) (MR) Aaron Crow (R)–Earned his sixth hold of the season Thursday after pitching a 1-2-3 seventh inning striking out two batters. Crow has been very effective this season, allowing just one run through his first 9.1 innings, and could see time in the setup role if Kelvin Herrera remains inconsistent. 11 PC-8 ST (5/9/13) Los Angeles Angels (CL) Shaky Ernesto Frieri (R)–Collected his seventh save of the season Saturday after pitching a scoreless ninth inning allowing one hit while striking out one batter. Frieri has now pitched three consecutive days (3.2 innings), and will likely be unavailable for the Angels series finale on Sunday. 13 PC-10 ST (5/11/13) (SU) Scott Downs (L)–Earned his seventh hold of the season Saturday after striking out the only batter he faced in the seventh inning. Downs may be used in the closer role on Sunday, with Ernesto Frieri likely unavailable, so plan accordingly. 5 PC-3 ST (5/11/13) (MR) Mark Lowe (R)--Pitched 1.2 innings of relief on Friday night allowing three hits on 34 pitches thrown. Due to the high pitch count, don't expect to see Lowe available out of the bullpen for Saturday's game. 34 PC-19 ST (5/10/13) Injured:  Ryan Madson (Elbow), Sean Burnett  (Forearm)Minnesota Twins(CL) Solid Glen Perkins (L)–Recorded his eighth save of the season Thursday after pitching a scoreless ninth inning allowing one walk while striking out two batters. Perkins has now pitched back-to-back days and will likely be given the day off on Friday, so expect Jared Burton to fill in at closer if needed. 24 PC-14 ST (5/9/13) (SU) Jared Burton (R)–Recorded his first save of the season Saturday after pitching a scoreless ninth inning retiring all three batters he faced in order. With Glen Perkins unavailable, Burton filled in nicely, but has now pitched three straight days, so expect him to get the day off on Sunday. 11 PC-9 ST (5/11/13) (MR) Casey Fien (R)--Picked up his third hold of the season Saturday after recording the final two outs of the eighth inning. Fien has now pitched back-to-back days, but threw just six pitches on Saturday, so he should still be available Sunday. 6 PC-5 ST (5/11/13)New York Yankees(CL) Elite Mariano Rivera (R)–Recorded his 14th save of the season Saturday after pitching a scoreless ninth inning allowing one hit on 18 pitches. With this appearance Rivera has now converted all 14 save chances this season, with makes him tied with Orioles Jim Johnson for the league lead in the category. 18 PC-11 ST (5/11/13) (SU) David Robertson (R)–Picked up his seventh hold of the season Saturday after striking out the side in the eighth inning. Robertson has now been used three times since injuring his leg, but appears to be fully recovered after a dominating performance on Saturday. 12 PC-9 ST (5/11/13) (MR) Boone Logan (R)–Pitched a scoreless ninth inning Friday night in a non-save situation retiring all three batters he faced in order. Logan has now pitched back-to-back days, so there is a good chance he will get the night off on Saturday. 14 PC-9 ST (5/10/13)Oakland Athletics(CL) Solid Grant Balfour (R)–Collected his sixth save of the season Saturday night after pitching a scoreless ninth inning allowing one hit and one walk while striking out two batters. Balfour got himself into a jam, but was able to work out of him, to give the Athletics the victory on 25 pitches thrown. 25 PC-15 ST (5/11/13) (SU) Ryan Cook (R)–Picked up his fifth hold of the season Saturday after pitching a scoreless eighth inning allowing two hits and one walk on 29 pitches. This wasn't the best outing we have seen from Cook this season, but he was able to work out of a bases loaded jam by striking out the side to end the threat. 29 PC-18 ST (5/11/13) (MR) Sean Doolittle (L)–Earned his fifth hold of the season Saturday after recording the final two outs of the seventh inning. Doolittle allowed one hit while striking out one batter in the appearance, which was his first since Wednesday, so he will be available inf needed on Sunday. 12 PC-9 ST (5/11/13)Seattle Mariners(CL) Solid Tom Wilhelmsen (R)–Recorded his 10th save of the season Friday night after pitching yet another scoreless ninth inning. Considering where he was going off the draft board this season, Wilhelmsen has definitely been worth the investment, and has showed no signs of slowing down anytime soon. 10 PC-6 ST (5/10/13) (SU) Carter Capps (R)–Pitched a scoreless ninth inning Saturday in a non-save situation allowing one hit while striking out one batter. Capps had allowed three runs over his previous two outings, so it was nice to see him put together a solid performance in this contest. 10 PC-6 ST (5/11/13) (MR) Charlie Furbush (L)–Pitched two innings of relief on Saturday night allowing one run on one hit while striking out two batters. Furbush needed 27 pitches to get through the appearance, but should be available to pitch Saturday, considering it was the first he had pitched since Tuesday. 27 PC-18 ST (5/11/13)Injured–Stephen Pryor (back)Tampa Bay Rays(CL) Solid Fernando Rodney (R)–Earned his fifth save of the season Friday night after pitching a scoreless ninth inning allowing one walk while striking out one batter. Rodney has been mediocre at best this season, but the fact he was able to move past his disastrous outing earlier in the week proves he still has what it takes to be a closer in the big leagues. 16 PC-11 ST (5/10/13) (SU) Joel Peralta (R)–Picked up his seventh hold of the season Friday after pitching a scoreless eighth inning allowing one walk on 10 pitches thrown. This was Peralta's first appearance since Tuesday, so expect him to be available to handle the eighth inning the rest of the weekend. 10 PC-5 ST (5/10/13) (MR) Jake McGee (L)–Picked up the win Friday night after pitching a 1-2-3 seventh inning needing only 12 pitches to get the job done. After Rays manager Joe Madden came out publicly and said McGee will not be demoted after a poor start, McGee pitched excellent, proving why that decision was made. 12 PC-8 ST (5/10/13) Texas Rangers (CL) Elite Joe Nathan (R)–Collected his 11th save of the season Saturday despite allowing one run on one hit and one walk in the ninth inning. It wasn't the cleanest of outings, but Nathan was able to work out of a jam to record his 11th straight save without being charged with a blown-save this season. 19 PC-10 ST (5/11/13) (SU) Tanner Scheppers (R)–Picked up his eighth hold of the season Friday night after pitching a scoreless eighth inning retiring all three batters he faced in order. Scheppers has been great this season, allowing only one earned-run through 18 innings of work and has now emerged as one of the better setup men to own in holds leagues. 12 PC-9 ST (5/10/13) (MR) Jason Frasor (R)–Pitched one inning of relief on Saturday allowing one run on one hit while striking out one batter. Frasor has now given up runs in back-to-back games, bringing his total to four runs allowed this season, which isn't that great considering he has only pitched 10 innings on the year. 12 PC-8 ST (5/11/13) Injured– Joakim Soria (Elbow)Toronto Blue Jays(CL) Solid Casey Janssen (R)–Collected his 10th save of the season Saturday after pitching a scoreless ninth inning allowing one hit on 10 pitches thrown. Wit this appearance Janssen is 10-for-10 in save chances this season, and even with Sergio Santos on his way back, he should not have to worry about losing the closer role. 10 PC-7 ST (5/11/13) (SU) Steve Delabar (R)–Was charged with a blown-save Thursday after allowing one run on two hits in the seventh inning. Delabar served up a solo-home run to Yunel Escobar, which tied the game four runs a piece, eventually leading to a win in the bottom of the 10th inning for the Rays. 21 PC-12 ST (5/9/13) (MR) Esmil Rogers (R)–Pitched 1.2 innings of relief on Wednesday night allowing two runs on two hits and one walk. Rogers needed 34 pitches to get through the appearance, so don't expect him to be available on Thursday. 34 PC-21 ST (5/8/13) Injured– Sergio Santos (Triceps)Continue to Page 2 to view the National League Bullpen Report...National League Bullpen ReportArizona Diamondbacks(CL) Shaky Heath Bell (R)–Recorded his fourth save of the season Thursday night after pitching a scoreless ninth inning allowing one hit on only seven pitches thrown. Bell has now earned a save three consecutive days, so he should not be expected to pitch on Friday, leaving either David Hernandez or Matt Reynolds the likely candidates to be used as the team's closer. 7 PC-5 ST (5/9/13) (SU) David Hernandez (R)–Recorded his first save of the season Friday night after pitching a scoreless ninth inning. With Heath Bell unavailable, Hernandez stepped in and got the job done for the Diamondbacks, and could see more saves down the road, considering the team announced the two pitchers are in a timeshare. 14 PC-11 ST (5/10/13) (MR) Matt Reynolds (L)--Pitched 0.2 innings of relief Saturday night allowing two hits while striking out two batters. With this appearance Reynolds increased his scoreless innings streak to 17.2 innings to stat the season, and has become someone to pick up in holds leagues. 17 PC-12 ST (5/11/13) Injured: J.J. Putz (Elbow) Atlanta Braves (CL) Elite Craig Kimbrel (R)–Recorded his 11th save of the season Thursday after pitching a scoreless ninth inning allowing only one hit on 15 pitches thrown. Kimbrel had been struggling as of late, so it was nice to see a clean outing from him to try and right the ship. 15 PC-9 ST (5/9/13) (SU) Eric O’Flaherty (R)–Earned his 12th hold of the season Thursday after pitching a scoreless eighth inning allowing one walk while striking out one batter. O'Flaherty worked quickly in this one, forcing one ground ball out and one fly ball out to go along with his strikeout acting as a bridge between Julio Teheran and Craig Kimbrel. 12 PC-6 ST (5/9/13) (MR) Jordan Walden (R)–Pitched 0.2 innings of relief on Saturday allowing one run on one hit and one walk while striking out two batters. Walden has now allowed five runs over his last three appearances (1.1 innings), and has been a disappointment for both the Braves and fantasy owners in holds leagues thus far in 2013. 22 PC-13 ST (5/11/13) Injured– Jonny Venters (Elbow) Chicago Cubs (CL) Shaky Kevin Gregg (R)--Pitched a scoreless ninth inning Wednesday in a non-save situation allowing one walk while striking out two batters. Before the game Cubs management officially labeled Gregg the team's closer moving forward, so even though Kyuji Fujikawa is set to return this weekend, it is his job to lose. 25 PC-15 ST (5/8/13) (SU) Kyuji Fujikawa (R)--Pitched a scoreless eighth inning on Friday in his return from the disabled list, allowing one hit while striking out one batter. The Cubs are going to continue rolling with Kevin Gregg in the ninth inning for the time being, but if he had a few bad outings expect to see Fujikawa back in the closer role. 12 PC-9 ST (5/10/13) (MR) Carlos Marmol (R)--Earned his third hold of the season Tuesday night after pitching 1.1 innings of scoreless relief  It wouldn't be a Marmol outing without allowing base runners, allowing three in this performance, but worked out of the jam by forcing one ground ball out and two fly ball outs to get the job done. 25 PC-15 ST (5/7/13)Cincinnati Reds(CL) Elite Aroldis Chapman (L)–Collected his eighth save of the season Friday despite allowing one run on one hit in the ninth inning. This was Chapman's first appearance since last Saturday, so expect to see more of him this weekend, as long as they Reds keep the scores close. 20 PC-15 ST (5/10/13) (SU) Jonathan Broxton (R)–Picked up his fifth hold of the season Friday after pitching a scoreless eighth inning allowing one walk while striking out one batter. Broxton has really started to settle down over his last four appearances, allowing zero hits and one walk over that stretch. 13 PC-6 ST (5/10/13) (MR) Sean Marshall (L)--Failed to record in out in his appearance on Wednesday allowing one run on one hit in the eighth inning. This was the first time Marshall pitched back-to-back days this season, but with a day off on Thursday, he will be reado to go next time the Reds take the field. 4 PC-3 ST (5/8/13)Colorado Rockies(CL) Solid Rafael Betancourt (R)–Took the loss Wednesday night after surrendering one run on two hits and two walks in the ninth inning. This was the first loss by Betancourt this season, and fantasy owners should not worry too much about this appearance, considering he has allowed just three earned-runs all season. 19 PC-8 ST (5/8/13) (SU) Rex Brothers (L)–Pitched a scoreless eighth inning Wednesday night retiring all three batters he faced in order. Brothers has now pitched back-to-back nights, so don;t expect to see him take the field on Thursday. 11 PC-6 ST (5/8/13) (MR) Wilton Lopez (R)–Pitched 1.1 innings of relief on Saturday allowing two hits while striking out two batters. Lopez has now pitched at least `1.1 innings in three straight appearances, as it appears the Rockies are stretching him out to be used in a long relef role. 29 PC-18 ST (5/11/13)Los Angeles Dodgers(CL) Shaky Brandon League (R)–Took the loss on Tuesday night after surrendering two runs on one hit and one walk in the ninth inning. League has struggled for most of the season, but has taken the loss in back-to-back appearances, and if he doesn't right the ship soon expect to see Kenley Jansen take over the ninth inning. 27 PC-18 ST (5/7/13) (SU) Kenley Jansen (R)–Took the loss on Wednesday night after serving up the game-winning home run in the eighth inning. The Dodgers announced Wednesday that they will continue using Brandon League as there closer, so Jansen owners will have to wait for a few more League meltdowns before he gets a bump in fantasy value. 20 PC-14 ST (5/8/13) (MR) Ronald Belisario (R)–Took the loss on Friday night after surrendering two runs on three his and one walk in the seventh inning. Belisario has now allowed for runs over his last for appearances, and is in real danger of being passed by one of the other members of the Dodgers bullpen in the pecking order. 23 PC-15 ST (5/10/13)Miami Marlins(CL) Shaky Steve Cishek (R)–Recorded his fifth save of the season Friday night after pitching a 1-2-3 ninth inning needing only 14 pitches to get the job done. Cishek was great in this one, striking out two batters while forcing one ground ball out, but needs to show more consistency if he wants to keep the job long term. 14 PC-8 ST (5/10/13) (SU) Mike Dunn (L)–Picked up his sixth hold of the season Friday night after pitching a 1-2-3 seventh inning striking out one batter. Dunn has been great all season in the setup role, and is considered to be next in line if Steve Cishek was to falter. 19 PC-14 ST (5/10/13) (MR) Jon Rauch (R)–Pitched 1.1 innings of relief on Saturday night allowing one hit on 16 pitches thrown. Rauch hasn't been used in a meaningful role in a while now, so it appears the team is losing trust in him which has hurt his fantasy value in holds leagues. 16 PC-13 ST (5/11/13)Milwaukee Brewers(CL) Solid Jim Henderson (R)–Pitched a scoreless eighth inning Saturday retiring all three batters he faced in order on 12 pitches thrown. Henderson struck out two batters while forcing one ground ball out in what was his first appearance since Tuesday, so expect him to be available for the series finale on Sunday. 12 PC-7 ST (5/11/13) (MR) John Axford (R)–Pitched a scoreless eighth inning Friday allowing one hit and two walks while striking out one batter. Axford got himself in a real jam, allowing three base runners, but somehow escaped without allowing any runs, in another lousy outing from this former shutdown closer. 23 PC-13 ST (5/10/13) (MR) Michael Gonzalez (L)–Pitched 0.2 innings of relief on Saturday allowing one run on two hits and two walks while striking out one batter. Gonzalez has now pitched back-to-back days and will likely be given the day off on Sunday. 30 PC-15 ST (5/11/13)New York Mets(CL) Shaky Bobby Parnell (R)–Picked up the win Thursday after pitching a scoreless ninth inning allowing one hit while striking out one batter. This was Parnell's second win in his last two appearances, bringing his record to 4-0 on the season, so despite his lack of saves, at least he is still helping out in other ways. 18 PC-14 ST (5/9/13) (SU) Brandon Lyon (R)–Pitched 1.1 innings of relief Thursday allowing one hit on just 11 pitches thrown. Lyon was charged with a blown-save in the outing, despite pitching well, so don't look too much into the scoring decision. 11 PC-9 ST (5/9/13) (MR) LaTroy Hawkins (R)--Pitched two innings of relief on Saturday allowing one run on four hits while striking out one batter. Hawkins needed 36 pitches to get through the appearance, so it is unlikely he will pitch on Sunday. 36 PC-26 ST (5/11/13) Injured– Frank Francisco (Elbow)Philadelphia Phillies(CL) Elite Jonathan Papelbon (R)–Recorded his eighth save of the season Saturday after pitching 1.2 innings of relief, allowing two hits while striking out three batters. This was a long appearance for Papelbon, who rarely works over one inning, but he was able to get the job done, while limiting his pitch count to keep him self available for Sunday's series finale. 29 PC-18 ST (5/11/13) (SU) Mike Adams (R)–Took the loss Friday night after serving up the game-winning home run to Miguel Montero in the eighth inning. With this appearance Adams falls to 1-3 on the season with a 3.00 earned-run average over 15 innings of work. 11 PC-6 ST (5/10/13) (MR) Antonio Bastardo (L)–Earned his fifth hold of the season Saturday despite allowing one run on one hit and one walk in the eighth inning. Bastardo recorded only one out in the appearance before being yanked for closer Jonathan Papelbon, and has now given up runs in two of his last three outings. 10 PC-6 ST (5/11/13)Pittsburgh Pirates(CL) Elite Jason Grilli (R)–Recorded his 14th save of the season Friday night after retiring the only batter he faced in the ninth inning on three pitches. Jose Contreras started the ninth inning, but allowed two quick runs and had the game-tying runners aboard, but Grilli was able to clean up his mess and secure the victory for the Pirates in a non-traditional way. 3 PC-2 ST (5/10/13) (SU) Mark Melancon (R)–Pitched a scoreless eighth inning Thursday allowing one walk while striking out one batter. Melancon continued his amazing run in this contest, needing only 12 pitches to work yet another scoreless inning of relief, and should now be considered one of the top setup men in all of baseball. 12 PC-8 ST (5/9/13) (MR) Jose Contreras (R)--Was used to close out the ninth inning Friday night in a non-save situation allowing two runs on three hits and one walk. He failed to make it through the inning, needing Jason Grilli to record the final out, but it is too early for the team to give up on him considering it is only his third appearance of the season. 23 PC-10 ST (5/10/13)San Diego Padres(CL) Solid Huston Street (R)–Took the loss and was charged with a blown-save Saturday after allowing two runs on one hit and one walk in the ninth inning. Street had recorded all eight of his save chances leading up to this meltdown, but despite his success he hasn't pitched that well this season, allowing a lot of base runners, which was bound to catch up top him at some point. 21 PC-10 ST (5/11/13) (SU) Luke Gregerson (R)–Earned his ninth hold of the season Saturday after retiring both batters he faced in order to end the eighth inning. Gregerson needed only seven pitches to get through the appearance, and should now be universally owned in leagues that count holds as a category after continuing success. 7 PC-4 ST (5/11/13) (MR) Dale Thayer (R)–Took the loss on Friday night after allowing four runs (three earned) on three hits in the seventh inning. Thayer failed to record an out in the appearance, blowing a sold start from Edinson Volquez, so hopefully he will be able to put this behind him and contribute better next time out. 18 PC-12 ST (5/10/13)San Francisco Giants(CL) Elite Sergio Romo (R)–Was charged with his second blown-save of the season Wednesday after allowing two runs on two hits and one walk in the ninth inning. Romo has only had two bad outings this season, so expect him to bounce back form this one just like he did the last time. 20 PC-13 ST (5/8/13) (SU) Santiago Casilla (R)–Earned his sixth hold of the season Wednesday after retiring the final two batters of the eighth inning. Casilla struck out both batters on just eight pitches thrown, as he continues to be a solid contributor in leagues that count holds as a category. 8 PC-5 ST (5/8/13) (MR) Javier Lopez (L)– Pitched 0.2 innings of relief on Friday night needing only two pitches to close out the game. Lopez forced each batter to put the ball in play on their first pitch, leading to one of the shortest outings you will see from him this season. 2 PC-2 ST (5/10/13) St. Louis Cardinals (CL) Solid Edward Mujica (R)–Earned his ninth save of the season Wednesday after pitching a 1-2-3 ninth inning needing only nine pitches to get the job done. Mujica is now 9-for-9 in save opportunities since taking over the closer role, and will Jason Motte out for the season, his job will become permanent. 9 PC-7 ST (5/8/13) (SU) Trevor Rosenthal (R)--Picked up his ninth hold of the season Wednesday after recording the forst out of the eighth inning. Rosenthal only faced two batters in the appearance, walking one and striking out the other on eight pitches, but it was enough to benefit his fantasy owners. 8 PC-3 ST (5/8/13) (MR) Fernando Salas (R)--Picked up his second hold of the season Saturday after pitching 0.2 innings of relief allowing one run on two hits. He was asked to get the final two outs of the seventh inning, and did so, just not in orderly fashion. 11 PC-9 ST (5/4/13) Injured– Jason Motte (Elbow)Washington Nationals(CL) Elite Rafael Soriano (R)–Collected his 12th save Thursday after pitching a scoreless ninth inning allowing one hit while striking out one batter. Soriano has now pitched back-to-back days, but should still be available to pitch if a save situation arises on Friday, due to his low pitch counts. 17 PC-12 ST (5/9/13) (SU) Drew Storen (R)–Earned his sixth hold of the season Thursday after pitching a scoreless eighth inning allowing one hit while striking out one batter. Like his teammate Tyler Clippard, Storen has been inconsistent thus far, but over his last few outings, he has looked like the pitcher they Nationals expected to get when drafting him in the first round of the 2009 MLB Draft. 15 PC-9 ST (5/9/13) (SU) Tyler Clippard (R)–Picked up his fifth hold of the season Wednesday after pitching a scoreless eighth inning. Clippard made it interesting by allowing two walks, as he continues to deal with command issues, but got the job done, escaping the inning unharmed. 34 PC-21 ST (5/8/13)Matthew Beck is a Fantasy Sports Columnist for Rotoinfo.com.
