Fields looked excellent his last time out, but was brought back down to Earth, in an outing that shows maybe he is not ready for the closer role just yet. 27 PC-14 ST (8/7/13) (CL) Committee Travis Blackley (L)--Failed to record an out in his appearance on Wednesday night after allowing one hit and one walk in the seventh inning.

This was Fien's first outing since Saturday night, so expect to see more of him over the next few days. 9 PC-4 ST (8/6/13) (MR) Jared Burton (R)–Picked up his 18th hold of the season Sunday after pitching a scoreless eighth inning retiring all three batters he faced in order.

Although it was a bad outing for Peralta, he was credited with his 29th hold, which helps out his fantasy owners at the very least. 25 PC-16 ST (8/7/13) (MR) Jake McGee (L)--Pitched 1.2 innings of relief on Wednesday night surrendering one run on three hits and one walk on 38 pitches thrown.

Cecil was in line to be used as the team's closer with Casey Janssen unavailable, but it just didn't work out this time, considering the big lead. 13 PC-6 ST (8/6/13) (MR) Aaron Loup (L)--Took the loss on Wednesday after surrendering two runs on two hits in the fifth inning. Loup has now surrendered three runs over his last three appearances, so hopefully next time out he can turn things around. 21 PC-12 ST (8/7/13) Injured– Steve Delabar (Shoulder)Continue to Page 2 to view the National League Bullpen Report...National League Bullpen Report Arizona Diamondbacks(CL) Shaky Brad Ziegler (R)--Earned his seventh save of the season Wednesday night after pitching a scoreless ninth inning allowing one hit and one walk on 16 pitches thrown.

Hoover (R)--Earned his eighth hold of the season Wednesday after pitching a scoreless eighth inning allowing two hits on 26 pitches thrown.
