Before the game Orioles management stated that Johnson was still their closer, after three straight blown-saves, so the fact he was even used should end any speculation on whether or not he will lose his job. 8 PC-5 ST (5/21/13)(SU) Darren O’Day (R)–Was used in the ninth inning on Wednesday in a non-save situation allowing one run on one hit while striking out two batters. O'Day allowed a solo-home run to David Adams in the appearance, but with a comfortable lead, it didn't become a factor in the outcome. 23 PC-18 ST (5/22/13)(MR) Pedro Strop (R)–Took the loss on Monday night after allowing two runs on two hits and one walk in the 10th inning. Strop had pitched well over the last few outings prior to his appearance, so hopefully he will be able to bounce back form this rough one,m especially with teammate Jim Johnson hitting a rough patch as well. 14 PC-7 ST (5/20/13)Boston Red Sox (CL) Solid Andrew Bailey (R)--Made his first appearance since late April Wednesday night in a non-save situation allowing one run on one hit in the ninth inning. Bailey appears to be fully healthy and has resumed closer duties for the Red Sox, but injuries have always been a part of his career, so fantasy owners should keep their fingers crossed every time he takes the mound. 11 PC-9 ST (5/22/13) (SU) Koji Uehara (R)–Earned his 10th hold of the season on Wednesday night after pitching a 1-2-3 eighth inning striking out two batters on nine pitches thrown. Uehara continues to get the job done a the Red Sox setup man, and has been striking out batters as a higher rate than we have expected from him. 9 PC-7 ST (5/22/13) (MR) Junichi Tazawa (R)--Pitched a scoreless ninth inning Sunday in a non-save situation allowing two hits while striking out two batters. With Andrew Bailey starting his rehab assignment, Tazawa's fantasy value is going to be short-lived, but he has the chance to lock down some saves in the mean time. 16 PC-12 ST (5/19/13) Injured--Joel Hanrahan (Forearm)Chicago White Sox(CL) Solid Addison Reed (R)–Recorded his 16th save of the season Tuesday night after pitching a scoreless ninth inning retiring all three batters he faced in order. Reed has now pitched back-to-back days, but considering his low pitch count sin both contests, he should be available to pitch on Wednesday if needed. 11 PC-8 ST (5/21/13) (SU) Jesse Crain (R)–Earned his 14th hold of the season Tuesday after striking out the final two batters of the seventh inning on 12 pitches. Crain has now pitched back-to-back days, and may get the day off on Wednesday, so fantasy owners will need to plan accordingly. 12 PC-7 ST (5/21/13) (MR) Matt Thornton (L)–Failed to record an out in his appearance on Tuesday night allowing one run on one hit and one walk. Thornton has now pitched consecutive days, so expect him to get the night off on Wednesday to clear his head. 8 PC-3 ST (5/21/13) Cleveland Indians (CL) Solid Chris Perez (R)–Was used in a non-save situation Monday allowing one run on one hit and two walks while striking out two batters in the ninth inning. Perez allowed a home run to Endy Chavez, which gave the Mariners the lead, but int he bottom half of the inning the Indians offense tied the game back up, saving Perez from being tagged with a loss. 28 PC-16 ST (5/20/13)(SU) Vinny Pestano (R)--Was charged with his first blown-save of the season Monday after serving up a solo-home run to Kyle Seager in the eighth inning. This was just his second appearance since coming off the disabled list, so a little rust should be expected until he gets back in the swing of things. 22 PC-14 ST (5/20/13)(MR) Joe Smith (R)--Picked up the win on Monday despite allowing one run on one hit while striking out one batter in the 10th inning. Smith allowed a home run to Justin Smoak, which briefly gave the Mariners the lead, but that didn't last long once Charlie Furbush took the mound, allowing Smith to qualify for the win. 12 PC-11 ST (5/20/13)Detroit Tigers (CL) Solid Jose Valverde (R)–Pitched a scoreless ninth inning on Wednesday in a non-save situation retiring all three batters he faced in order. Valverde has now pitched back-to-back days, so he should not be expected to be used on Thursday, unless absolutely needed. 15 PC-10 ST (5/22/13) (SU) Joaquin Benoit (R)–Pitched a scoreless eighth inning on Wednesday night retiring all three batters he faced in order striking out one on 19 pitches thrown. With Jose Valverde pitching consecutive days, Benoit would be the likely candidate to be used in the ninth inning if Valverde is unavailable. 19 PC-11 ST (5/22/13) (MR) Phil Coke (L)--Pitched 0.2 innings of relief on Sunday allowing two runs on two hits, failing to get out of the seventh inning. Cook has now pitched back-to-back days so the scheduled day off on Monday will give him time to forget that he has allowed three runs in his last three appearances. 16 PC-14 ST (5/19/13) Injured– Octavio Dotel (Shoulder) Houston Astros (CL) Shaky Jose Veras (R)–Earned his eighth save of the season Wednesday after pitching a scoreless ninth inning retiring all three batters he faced in order. Veras has been pitcher great of late, and if he is still sitting on your waiver-wire, now would be the time to pick him up. 13 PC-7 ST (5/22/13) (SU) Wesley Wright (L)–Failed to record an out in his appearance on Tuesday night allowing one run on one hit in the eighth inning. Wright will likely get the day off on Wednesday after pitching back-to-back days. 1 PC-1 ST (5/21/13) (MR) Hector Ambriz (R)--Earned his eighth hold of the season Wednesday after pitching a scoreless eighth inning retiring all three batters he faced in order. Ambriz has now pitched three of the last four days, so luckily for him the team is off on Thursday, so he will get to rest his tired arm. 9 PC-5 ST (5/22/13) Injured–Josh Fields  (Forearm) Kansas City Royals (CL) Solid Greg Holland (R)–Pitched a scoreless ninth inning Tuesday in a non-save situation allowing one walk while striking out three batters. Holland has put to rest any questions about him losing his job, so those who are still thinking Kelvin Herrera is going to take the job at some point h this season, should think again. 20 PC-12 ST (5/21/13) (SU) Aaron Crow (R)–Earned his eighth hold of the season Tuesday after pitching a scoreless eighth inning retiring all three batters he faced in order. The fact he was used in the eighth inning indicates that the Royals have had enough of Kelvin Herrera's problems, which gives Crow some added fantasy in holds leagues. 7 PC-5 ST (5/21/13) (MR) Kelvin Herrera (R)–Pitched one inning of relief on Wednesday allowing one run on one hit and one walk in the eighth inning. Herrera continues to struggle, and if he continues down this path he may be pushed out of the Royals bullpen completely. 24 PC-15 ST (5/22/13) Los Angeles Angels (CL) Solid Ernesto Frieri (R)–Recorded his ninth save of the season Sunday despite allowing one run on three walks in 1.1 innings of work. Frieri has now recorded four-out saves in back-to-back games, as he continues to be used extensively out of the Angels bullpen. 27 PC-13 ST (5/19/13) (SU) Scott Downs (L)–Earned his ninth hold of the season Sunday after striking out the only batter he faced in the eighth inning. Downs threw just six pitches in the appearance, which was his first outing since last Thursday, so expect to see him used a lot over the next few days. 6 PC-3 ST (5/19/13) (MR) Sean Burnett (R) Injured:  Ryan Madson (Elbow)Minnesota Twins(CL) Solid Glen Perkins (L)–Was charged with his first blown-save of the season Tuesday after allowing a game-tying home run to Evan Gattis in the bottom of the ninth inning. The  home run extended the game into the 10th inning, which ended up with the Braves winnings after a Freddie Freeman single. 13 PC-9 ST (5/21/13) (SU) Jared Burton (R)–Earned his ninth hold of the season Tuesday night after pitching a scoreless eighth inning striking out two batters. Burton has been pitching great this season, and if the Twins consider moving Glen Perkins at the trade deadline or falters, he would be first in line to take over the closer role, where I believe he could thrive. 9 PC-8 ST (5/21/13) (MR) Casey Fien (R)--Pitched a scoreless seventh inning on Tuesday night retiring all three batters he faced in order. After being used in certain matchups over the course of the first few weeks of the season, we are now seeing him pitch full innings, which could lead to increased fantasy value for those in extremely deep holds leagues. 11 PC-7 ST (5/21/13)New York Yankees(CL) Elite Mariano Rivera (R)–Recorded his 17th save of the season Monday night after pitching a 1-2-3 10th inning striking out one batter. Make that 17-for-17 in save chances for Rivera in 2013, as he continues to dominate the opposition without the use of an overpowering fastball. 16 PC-10 ST (5/20/13) (SU) David Robertson (R)–Pitched a scoreless eighth inning on Tuesday night striking out the side on 15 pitches thrown. Robertson has now pitched back-to-back days and will likely get the day off on Wednesday so owners in holds leagues will want to plan accordingly. 15 PC-10 ST (5/21/13) (MR) Boone Logan (R)–Pitched 0.2 innings of relief on Tuesday night allowing one hit while striking out one batter. Logan has now pitched back-to-back days, and three of the last four games, so there is a chance he will be given the night off on Wednesday. 13 PC-10 ST (5/21/13)Oakland Athletics(CL) Solid Grant Balfour (R)–Earned his ninth save of the season Tuesday after pitching a 1-2-3 ninth inning striking out one batter. Balfour looked sharp in this appearance, needing only 12 pitches to work through the inning, and should now be considered a buy-low candidate before he really starts to turn it on. 12 PC-7 ST (5/21/13) (SU) Ryan Cook (R)–Recorded his first save of the season Sunday with Gran Balfour unavailable, allowing two hits while striking out one batter. Cook got himself into some trouble, but was able to secure the one-run lead, which should earn him another chance like this if the situation arises. 21 PC-15 ST (5/19/13) (MR) Sean Doolittle (L)–Picked up his eighth hold of the season Tuesday night after pitching a scoreless eighth inning allowing one hit while striking out two batters. With this appearance Doolittle is now sporting a 0.90 ERA through his first 21 appearances, which make him one of the better middle relievers in all of baseball. 14 PC-12 ST (5/21/13)Seattle Mariners(CL) Solid Tom Wilhelmsen (R)–Pitched a scoreless eighth inning on Wednesday allowing one walk on 12 pitches. This was likely just a bullpen session in a game-time situation for Wilhelmsen, considering the Mariners where down by six runs when he entered the game. 12 PC-5 ST (5/22/13) (SU) Carter Capps (R)–Recorded the final two outs of the eighth inning on Monday retiring both batters he faced in order. Capps needed only seven pitches to get out of the inning, and has now struck out three batter in his last 2.1 innings of work. 7 PC-5 ST (5/20/13) (MR) Charlie Furbush (L)–Pitched three innings of relief on Wednesday retiring all nine batters he faced in order striking out three batters on only 27 pitches thrown. After pitching three innings, it is likely Furbush will not pitch in the Mariners next game, so don't expect to see him used until Saturday or Sunday. 27 PC-23 ST (5/22/13)Injured–Stephen Pryor (back)Tampa Bay Rays(CL) Solid Fernando Rodney (R)–Was charged with his fourth blown-save Wednesday after allowing a game-tying home run to Jose Bautista in the ninth inning. He was quickly removed after allowing another base runner after the home run, and now still struggling at the end of May, his job security is starting to slip away. 14 PC-6 ST (5/22/13) (SU) Joel Peralta (R)–Recorded the final two outs of the ninth inning on Wednesday after Fernando Rodney served up a game-tying home run, needing only eight pitches to get the job done. If Rodney continues to struggle, Peralta will be the likely candidate to take over the closer duties for the Rays, but that may still be a few blown-saves away. 8 PC-5 ST (5/22/13) (MR) Jake McGee (L)–Earned his ninth hold of the season Tuesday night after recording the final two outs of the seventh inning. He faced only two batters in the appearance, forcing one fly ball out while striking out a batter on 12 pitches thrown. 12 PC-7 ST (5/21/13) Texas Rangers (CL) Elite Joe Nathan (R)–Recorded his 14th save of the season Wednesday night after pitching a 1-2-3 ninth inning striking out one batter. With this appearance Nathan is now 14-for-14 in save opportunities and considering the struggles of other closers this year, Nathan owners should feel lucky. 7 PC-7 ST (5/22/13) (SU) Tanner Scheppers (R)–Pitched 1.1 innings of relief on Tuesday night allowing one walk while striking out two batters. After a mediocre appearance on Sunday, Scheppers picked up right where he left off, and is now sitting on a 0.75 ERA through 24.0 innings of work this season. 27 PC-15 ST (5/21/13) (MR) Jason Frasor (R)–Earned his first hold of the season Sunday despite allowing one run on one walk in the sixth inning. Frasor threw just 10 pitches in the appearance, so expect hi to be available out of the bullpen on Monday. 10 PC-4 ST (5/19/13) Injured– Joakim Soria (Elbow)Toronto Blue Jays(CL) Solid Casey Janssen (R)–Was used in the ninth inning on Wednesday in a non-save situation allowing one run on two hits while striking out one batter. The run allowed was just his fourth of the season, and if the Blue Jays start to turn things around, he could become a great closer to own in fantasy moving forward. 28 PC-18 ST (5/22/13) (SU) Steve Delabar (R)–Pitched a scoreless eighth inning on Wednesday retiring all three batters he faced in order. Delabar has now pitched back-to-back days, so there is a chance he will have the day off on Thursday when the Blue Jays open up a series with the Orioles. 7 PC-5 ST (5/22/13) (MR) Esmil Rogers (R)–Pitched three innings of scoreless relief on Tuesday night allowing two hits and one walk while striking out one batter. Considering how many innings he threw in this contest, don't expect to see him used over the course of the next few days. 33 PC-21 ST (5/21/13) Injured– Sergio Santos (Triceps)Continue to Page 2 to view the National League Bullpen Report...National League Bullpen Report Arizona Diamondbacks(CL) Shaky Heath Bell (R)–Collected his sixth save of the season Wednesday after pitching a scoreless ninth inning allowing one hit while striking out one batter. After a blown-save on Sunday, Bell has now recorded saves in back-to-back games, so any doubt that he would be out as the teams closer should now be silenced. 15 PC-11 ST (5/15/13) (SU) David Hernandez (R)–Pitched a scoreless ninth inning Tuesday night in a non-save situation allowing one hit on 16 pitches thrown. With Heath Bell thriving in the closer role, Hernandez's fantasy value remains only in holds leagues, so those holding onto hope that he will take over the closer role need to let go. 16 PC-12 ST (5/21/13) (MR) Matt Reynolds (L)--Took the loss on Tuesday night after allowing one run on two hits and one walk in the ninth inning. After a great start to the season, Reynolds has now allowed three runs over his last 2.1 innings, this coming after a scoreless innings streak that reach 17.2 innings. 13 PC-6 ST (5/21/13) Injured: J.J. Putz (Elbow) Atlanta Braves (CL) Elite Craig Kimbrel (R)–Picked up the win on Tuesday night after pitching a 1-2-3 10th inning striking out one batter. After a day off on Monday, Kimbrel was right back out there and looked great, so any of you doubters out there need to put to rest any questions about Kimbrel as he appears to be back on track. 14 PC-8 ST (5/21/13) (SU)  Cory Gearrin (R)--Pitched 0.2 innings of relief on Tuesday night allowing two hits on 13 pitches thrown. Gearrin has now pitched back-to-back days, so expect him to get a day off on Wednesday. 13 PC-8 ST (5/21/13) (MR)  Luis Avilan (L)--Earned his sixth hold of the season Tuesday despite allowing two runs on one hit and one walk in the eighth inning. This was a rough outing for Avilan, who has now pitched consecutive days, so expect to see him get the day off on Wednesday as the Braves try to prevent any more injuries to their bullpen arms. 15 PC-7 ST (5/21/13) Injured– Jonny Venters (Elbow), Jordan Walden (Shoulder), Eric O’Flaherty (Elbow) Chicago Cubs (CL) Shaky Kevin Gregg (R)--Pitched a scoreless eighth inning on Tuesday night allowing one hit on 14 pitches thrown. Gregg has yet to give up an earned-run this season, but has just three appearances since May 12, which was the last time he recorded a save, but as least he is continuing to look sharp when he does get an opportunity. 14 PC-9 ST (5/21/13) (SU) Kyuji Fujikawa (R)--Took the loss on Sunday after allowing one run on one hit while striking out two batters in the eighth inning. With this appearance Fujikawa falls to 1-1 on the season, and has yet to give any reason why he should be moved back in to the closer role. 22 PC-15 ST (5/19/13) (MR) Carlos Marmol (R)--Pitched a scoreless seventh inning on Tuesday night allowing one hit on 17 pitches thrown. Over his last five appearances Marmol has allowed just one earned-run while striking out five batter over 5.1 innings of work, and has really started to adapt to his mid relief role, which will help his value if the Cubs were to move him at some point this year. 17 PC-12 ST (5/21/13)Cincinnati Reds(CL) Elite Aroldis Chapman (L)–Recorded his 10th save of the season Wednesday after pitching a scoreless ninth inning allowing one hit while striking out two batters. Chapman wasn't going to be used in this game, but a three-run ninth inning led to a save situation, and Chapman was able to step up to the plate in his normal dominating fashion. 18 PC-11 ST (5/22/13) (SU) Jonathan Broxton (R)–Picked up his seventh hold of the season Monday after pitching a scoreless eighth inning allowing one hit while striking out one batter. Broxton has now pitched back-to-back days, so expect him to be given a day off and be a spectator on Tuesday night. 11 PC-8 ST (5/20/13) (MR) Sean Marshall (L)--Earned his seventh hold of the season Monday night after recording the final two outs of the seventh inning. He faced only two batters in the appearance, forcing one ground ball out and one strikeout to get the job done. 12 PC-7 ST (5/20/13)Colorado Rockies(CL) Solid Rafael Betancourt (R)–Was removed from his appearance on Tuesday before recording an out, after suffering a groin injury that has been bothering him since April. For now, he should be considered day-to-day, but if his MRI on Wednesday shows anything else, we could be looking at a DL stint. 2 PC-0 ST (5/21/13) (SU) Rex Brothers (L)–Recorded his first save of the season on Wednesday after pitching a scoreless ninth inning allowing one hit on just nine pitches thrown. With Rafael Betancourt unavailable, Brothers stepped up to the plate, but will move back to the setup role once Friday with Betancourt expected to return after suffering an injury. 9 PC-7 ST (5/22/13) (MR) Wilton Lopez (R)–Picked up the win on Tuesday night after pitching a scoreless 10th inning in relief of the injured Rafael Betancourt. Lopez has now pitched back-to-back days, but threw just four pitches in this contest, so he should be available if needed on Wednesday. 4 PC-4 ST (5/21/13)Los Angeles Dodgers(CL) Shaky Brandon League (R)–Pitched a scoreless ninth inning on Wednesday in a non-save situation allowing one hit on 10 pitches thrown. When asked on Tuesday, manager Don Mattingly stated he wasn't sure who his closer was, so there is a chance League's shaky start has cost him his job. 10 PC-6 ST (5/22/13) (SU) Kenley Jansen (R)–Took the loss despite picking up his ninth hold of the season Sunday after allowing two runs on one hit and one walk in the eighth inning. Jansen has now taken the loss in back-to-back games, so a day off will definitely be in store for him on Monday. 14 PC-8 ST (5/19/13) (MR) Ronald Belisario (R)–Recorded the final two outs of the eighth inning on Wednesday allowing two hits while striking out one batter. Belisario has pitched well as of late, but he should not be considered in holds leagues until he starts to rack up more strikeouts and holds. 19 PC-13 ST (5/22/13)Miami Marlins(CL) Committee Steve Cishek (R)–Pitched a scoreless ninth inning on Wednesday night in a non-save situation allowing one hit on 11 pitches thrown. With the recent news that Cishek is now part of a closer committee, he will need to pitch well to keep in consideration for the ninth inning. 11 PC-8 ST (5/22/13) (CL) Committee Mike Dunn (L)–Picked up his first save of the season Sunday after recording the final out of the ninth inning in relief on Steve Cishek. This may be a sign that the team is starting to get frustrated with Steve Cishek, so in deep leagues, it may be time to start stashing Dunn. 13 PC-6 ST (5/19/13) (CL) Committee A.J. Ramos (R)--Pitched a scoreless ninth inning on Tuesday night in a non-save situation retiring all three batters he faced in order. Marlins management has recently decided to use all their bullpen arms to close out games, so despite this being a non-save situation, this was probably more like an audition for Ramos, who has definitely been impressive thus far. 18 PC-13 ST (5/21/13)Milwaukee Brewers(CL) Solid Jim Henderson (R)–Collected his ninth save of the season Tuesday night after pitching a scoreless ninth inning allowing one hit and one walk while striking out three batters. It wasn't the cleanest of outings, but he showed why he has what it takes to be a dominant closer at the big league level with his strikeout ability. 21 PC-12 ST (5/21/13) (MR) John Axford (R)–Earned his seventh hold of the season Tuesday after pitching a 1-2-3 seventh inning striking out one batter. Axford has pitched great over the last two days, but will likely get the day off after a heavy workload as of late. 15 PC-9 ST (5/21/13) (MR) Michael Gonzalez (L)–Earned his third hold of the season Tuesday after pitching a scoreless sixth inning retiring all three batters he faced in order. Gonzalez struck out two batter while forcing one fly ball out to get the job done for the second straight night, so don't expect to see him pitch on Wednesday. 18 PC-12 ST (5/21/13)New York Mets(CL) Shaky Bobby Parnell (R)–Took the loss on Wednesday after allowing three runs on three hits and two walks in the ninth inning. This was clearly Parnell's worst showing of the season, but has nothing to worry about in terms of his job security. 24 PC-12 ST (5/22/13) (SU) Brandon Lyon (R)–Pitched a scoreless eighth inning on Wednesday retiring all three batters he faced in order. Lyon struck out two batters in the appearance, needing only eight pitches to get the job done. 8 PC-7 ST (5/22/13) (MR) LaTroy Hawkins (R)--Pitched a scoreless seventh inning on Tuesday night allowing one hit while striking out one batter needing 11 pitches to get the job done. Hawkins has been inconsistent this season, but that should be expected from a 40-year-old at the end of his career. 11 PC-8 ST (5/21/13) Injured– Frank Francisco (Elbow)Philadelphia Phillies(CL) Elite Jonathan Papelbon (R)–Earned his eighth save of the season Friday night after pitching a scoreless ninth inning allowing one walk on 17 pitches thrown. Papelbon may not have the strikeout totals we had grown accustomed to seeing form him over the years, but he is still getting the job done, as a position riddled with failure, so consider yourself lucky if you drafted him this year. 17 PC-8 ST (5/17/13) (SU) Antonio Bastardo (L)–Pitched a scoreless eighth inning on Tuesday night retiring all three batters he faced in order. Bastardo looked great in this appearance, needing only nine pitches to strikeout two batters and force one fly ball out, which lowered his earned run average to 2.35 on the season. 9 PC-7 ST (5/21/13) (MR) Jeremy Horst (L)--Pitched 0.1 innings of relief on Monday night needing just seven pitches to record the first out of the eighth inning. Horst has been used in similar situations for most of the season, but may see an increase in usage with Mike Adams hitting the disabled list. 7 PC-6 ST (5/20/13) Injured--Mike Adams (Back)Pittsburgh Pirates(CL) Elite Jason Grilli (R)–Recorded his 18th save of the season Tuesday night despite allowing one run on two hits and one walk in the ninth inning. It wasn't the cleanest of outings for Grilli, needing 35 pitches to make it through the frame, so there is a chance he won't be able to pitch Wednesday after throwing that many pitches. 32 PC-21 ST (5/21/13) (SU) Mark Melancon (R)--Recorded his first save of the season Wednesday with Jason Grilli unavailable, after pitching a scoreless ninth inning. Melancon has now pitched back-to-back days, so there is a good chance he will be unavailable to pitch on Thursday. 22 PC-13 ST (5/22/13) (MR) Jose Contreras (R)--Pitched a scoreless ninth inning Thursday night in a non-save situation retiring all three batters he faced in order. Contreras looked good in this one, striking out tow batters while forcing one ground ball out to get the job done and seal the victory for the Pirates. 13 PC-8 ST (5/16/13)San Diego Padres(CL) Solid Huston Street (R)–Earned his 11th save of the season Monday after pitching a 1-2-3 ninth inning needing 12 pitches to get the job done. Street has now put together back-to-back solid outings since his last poor showing, so he appears to be back on track despite a bloated earned-run average (4.19 ERA). 12 PC-9 ST (5/20/13) (SU) Luke Gregerson (R)–Pitched a scoreless eighth inning on Wednesday allowing one walk on 10 pitches to get the job done. With this appearance, Gregerson is now sitting on a 0.92 ERA, which is one of the best earned-run averages for middle relievers in all of baseball. 10 PC-6 ST (5/22/13) (MR) Dale Thayer (R)–Earned his eighth hold of the season Monday after recording the first two outs of the seventh inning. He allowed one hit and one walk in the appearance, but neither base runner cross home plate, so his earned-run average escaped Monday's contest unharmed. 15 PC-10 ST (5/20/13)San Francisco Giants(CL) Elite Sergio Romo (R)–Pitched a scoreless ninth inning on Wednesday in a non-save situation allowing one hit while striking out one batter on 11 pitches thrown. Romo has not pitched back-to-back days, but with a scheduled say off on Thursday, expect him to be available for the team's next game. 11 PC-7 ST (5/22/13) (SU) Jeremy Affeldt (L)--Took the loss on Wednesday after allowing one run on two hits had one walk while striking out one batter in the 10th inning. Affeldt needed 25 pitches to get through the appearance, and after pitching back-to-back days, there is a chance he may be given the day off on Friday, even though the team doesn't have a game scheduled on Thursday. 25 PC-14 ST (5/22/13) (MR) Javier Lopez (L)–Pitched 0.1 innings of relief on Wednesday needing only seven pitches to get the job done. Lopez forced a fly ball out to end the eighth inning, and has now pitched the last three days in a row, so a day or two off is likely in store for the Giants lefty. 7 PC-5 ST (5/22/13) Injured--Santiago Casilla (Knee) St. Louis Cardinals (CL) Solid Edward Mujica (R)–Was used in a non-save situation on Wednesday allowing two runs on three hits while striking out one batter in the ninth inning. Luckily for Mujica, the Cardinals had big lead before he entered the game, so the runs didn't mean as much as they could have. 18 PC-16 ST (5/22/13) (SU) Trevor Rosenthal (R)--Pitched a scoreless eighth inning on Wednesday allowing two hits while striking out three batters on 20 pitches thrown. With Wednesday's performance, Rosenthal has now struck out 35 batters in 23. 1 innings pitched, making him one of the most dominant relievers in the big leagues. 20 PC-15 ST (5/22/13) (MR) Fernando Salas (R)--Pitched just 0.1 innings of relief on Monday night allowing one hit and one walk on 16 pitches thrown. He was charged with a blown-save in the appearance, but is was just a baseball technicality, so don't look too much into that decision. 16 PC-8 ST (5/20/13) Injured– Jason Motte (Elbow)Washington Nationals(CL) Solid Rafael Soriano (R)--Recorded his 13th save of the season Wednesday after pitching a scoreless 10th inning retiring all three batters he faced in order. After blowing his last two save chances, Soriano got back on track on Wednesday, but just hasn't looked like the dominant pitcher we saw just one season ago pitching for the Yankees. 17 PC=12 ST (5/22/13) (SU) Drew Storen (R)–Recorded the final two batters of the eighth inning on Wednesday allowing one hit and one walk before getting out of the inning. Storen was charged with a blown-save in the appearance, but he did not allow any runs, so his performance wasn't as bad as it may look. 13 PC-8 ST (5/22/13) (SU) Tyler Clippard (R)–Picked up the win on Wednesday after pitching a scoreless ninth inning retiring all three batters he faced in order. Clippard struck out two batters while forcing one fly ball out on 17 pitches thrown to get the job done. 17 PC-10 ST (5/22/13)Matthew Beck is a Fantasy Sports Columnist for Rotoinfo.com.
