Johnson allowed the game-tying run to enter the batter's box, but was able to work out of the jam by forcing two ground ball outs and one fly ball out to seal the victory for the Orioles. 10 PC-6 ST (6/18/13) (SU) Darren O’Day (R)–Pitched 0.2 innings of relief on Friday night retiring both batters he faced in order. O'Day needed only eight pitches between both the seventh and eight innings, forcing one fly ball out and striking out one batter to get the job done. 8 PC-5 ST(6/21/13) (MR) Brian Matusz (L)--Took the loss Friday after allowing one run on one hit and one walk in 1.1 innings of relief. Matusz has been very inconsistent this season and if his struggles continue, his role in the Orioles bullpen will start to be less meaningful. 23 PC-15 ST (6/21/13)Boston Red Sox(SU) Shaky Koji Uehara (R)–Picked up his 13th hold of the season Thursday after pitching a scoreless eighth inning retiring all three batters he faced in order. After going through a rough stretch a few weeks back, Uehara has gotten right back on track, and may be considered for the closer job if Andrew Bailey continues to struggle. 10 PC-9 ST (6/20/13)(SU) Andrew Bailey (R)--Took the loss and was charged with his fourth blown-save Thursday after surrendering a game-winning home run to Jhonny Peralta in the bottom of the ninth inning. Bailey has been terrible over his last four outings, having allowed seven runs, and if he doesn't clean up his act he may lose the closer role for the Red Sox. 9 PC-4 ST (6/20/13) (MR) Junichi Tazawa (R)--Earned his 12th hold of the season Friday night after pitching 0.2 innings of scoreless relief. Tazawa allowed one hit in the appearance, but was able to work around it by forcing one ground ball out and one fly ball out to make it through the appearance unharmed. 8 PC-6 ST (6/21/13) Injured--Joel Hanrahan (Forearm)Chicago White Sox(CL) Solid Addison Reed (R)–Pitched a scoreless ninth inning on Friday night in a non-save situation retiring all three batters he faced in order.

With this appearance Crain has now lowered his earned-run average to 0.55 on the season, having not allowed a run since April 12. 19 PC-12 ST (6/20/13) (MR) Matt Thornton (L)–Pitched 0.2 innings of relief on Tuesday night allowing one hit and one walk while striking out one batter on 24 pitches thrown.

Smith had allowed a run to score in each of his last two appearances, so it was nice to see him get it done in orderly fashion in this contest. 14 PC-10 ST (6/21/13) (MR) Bryan Shaw (R)--Earned his fourth hold of the season Wednesday after pitching 1.2 innings of scoreless relief. Shaw allowed one hit while forcing three ground ball outs and one fly ball out while striking out one batter to get the job done. 18 PC-14 ST (6/19/13) Injured--Chris Perez (Shoulder)Detroit Tigers(CL) Shaky Joaquin Benoit (R)–Earned his fourth save of the season Sunday after pitching 1.1 innings of relief allowing one hit while striking out one batter on 17 pitches thrown. Despite Jose Valvede being available, Benoit was used in the save situation, but the team still considers Valverde their closer so don't look too much into this situation. 17 PC-11 ST (6/16/13)(SU) Phil Coke (L)--Pitched one inning of relief on Friday night allowing two runs on one hit and one walk. Coke has now pitched back-to-back days, so expect him to get the day off on Saturday, especially after allowing three runs over his last two outings. 19 PC-11 ST (6/21/13)(MR) Al Alburquerque (R)--Pitched a scoreless eighth inning on Friday night allowing two walks on 22 pitches thrown. This appearance was his first since being recalled to the big leagues, and with any luck he will remain a staple in the Tigers bullpen for the remainder of the season. 22 PC-11 ST (6/21/13)Injured– Octavio Dotel (Shoulder)Houston Astros(CL) Shaky Jose Veras (R)–Pitched a scoreless ninth inning on Thursday in a non-save situation allowing one hit on 16 pitches thrown.

Wright was used to get the first out of the eighth inning, and has now pitched back-to-back days. 3 PC-3 ST (6/21/13)Kansas City Royals(CL) Solid Greg Holland (R)–Recorded his 15th save of the season Monday night after pitching a scoreless ninth inning allowing one hit while striking out one batter on 19 pitches thrown. Holland has now pitched back-to-back days, so there is a chance he will be unavailable on Tuesday, so plan accordingly. 19 PC-12 ST (6/17/13) (SU) Kelvin Herrera (R)--Pitched a scoreless ninth inning on Friday in a non-save situation allowing one hit and one walk while striking out two batters on 22 pitches thrown. Herrera got himself into a jam but was able to work his way through it, recording a scoreless inning for the first time in three appearances. 22 PC-12 ST (6/21/13) (MR) Aaron Crow (R)–Picked up the win on Monday night after being used to record the final two outs of the eighth inning. Crow has now pitched three of the last four days, so there is a good chance he will be given the day off on Tuesday. .16 PC-12 ST (6/17/13)Los Angeles Angels(CL) Solid Ernesto Frieri (R)–Recorded his 17th save of the season Thursday after pitching a scoreless ninth inning retiring all three batters he faced in order.

With Ernesto Frieri likely unavailable Friday, look for Jepsen to fill in for him if  a save situation arises in the contests. 19 PC-11 ST (6/20/13) (SU) Scott Downs (L)–Picked up the win on Thursday after recording the final out of the eighth inning. Downs has now pitched three consecutive days, so expect him to be unavailable for Friday's games with the Pirates. 7 P-3 ST (6/20/13) Injured:  Ryan Madson (Elbow), Sean Burnett (Elbow)Minnesota Twins(CL) Solid Glen Perkins (L)–Recorded his 18th save of the season Wednesday after pitching a 1-2-3 ninth inning striking out two batters on 11 pitches thrown. Perkins has now pitched back-to-back days, and will likely get the day off on Thursday, so expect to see Jared Burton used in the closer role if a save situation arises. 11 PC-9 ST (6/19/13) (SU) Jared Burton (R)–Pitched a scoreless ninth inning on Thursday in a non-save situation allowing two hits and one walk on 23 pitches thrown. Burton was used in place of Glen Perkins, who was unavailable after pitching back-to-back days, but Burton will be back to the setup role on Friday. 23 PC-17 ST (6/20/13) (MR) Casey Fien (R)--Pitched a scoreless eighth inning on Thursday retiring all three batters he faced in order.

Robertson has had only two appearances out of his last 10 that he has now either picked up a win or hold, proving why he is one of the top middle relievers to own in holds leagues. 20 PC-14 ST (6/21/13) (MR) Boone Logan (R)–Earned his fourth hold of the season Friday night after striking out the only batter  he faced to end the sixth inning.

Right when we thought Doolittle was turning things around he proves up wrong, so maybe he has yet to work out his kinks after all. 28 PC-19 ST (6/20/13)Seattle Mariners(CL) Committee Oliver Perez (L)--Pitched 0.1 innings of relief on Thursday striking out the only batter he faced to end the eighth inning.

Peralta has now pitched back-to-back days and will likely be unavailable to pitch on Thursday. 18 PC-14 ST (6/19/13) (MR) Jake McGee (L)–Earned his 12th hold of the season Thursday after recording the final two outs of the seventh inning. McGee needed only six pitches to get through the appearance forcing two ground ball outs to get the job done. 6 PC-5 ST (6/20/13)Texas Rangers(CL) Elite Joe Nathan (R)–Earned his 23rd save of the season Friday night after pitching a scoreless ninth inning allowing one walk while striking out one batter on 17 pitches thrown.

Hoover (R)--Pitched 0.2 innings of relief on Friday night allowing one hit and one walk while striking out one batter.

Adams is enduring arguably his worst season in the big leagues, but outings like this show that he could be trending back in the right direction. 12 PC-8 ST (6/19/13) (MR) Antonio Bastardo (L)–Earned his ninth hold of the season Wednesday after recording the final out of the eighth inning. Bastardo needed only two pitches in the appearance to force the only batter he faced to fly out to get the job done. 2 PC-2 ST (6/19/13)Pittsburgh Pirates(CL) Elite Jason Grilli (R)–Recorded his 26th save of the season Friday night after pitching a 1-2-3 ninth inning striking out two batters on only 12 pitches thrown.

With both Mark Melancon and Jason Grilli unavailable, Watson was able to get the job done retiring all six batters he faced in order. 23 PC-15 ST (6/20/13)San Diego Padres(CL) Solid Huston Street (R)--Recorded his 15th save of the season Friday night after pitching a 1-2-3 ninth inning needing only 11 pitches to work through the frame.
