BJ Ryan is on his way back to claiming his closer job that Scott Downs currently holds. Friday night he pitched the 9th inning in a non-save situation. He struck out two and walked one and had good stuff.

After the game, “He got the job done, it’s good to see,” manager Cito Gaston said. “We can use him, whether he gets back into his role or comes in there as the setup man.”

Gaston isn't showing his cards and he's in no rush with Ryan. We assume he'll get a chance to claim his job back, but Scott Downs is pitching very well and it's his to lose.
