The Closer Report: April 16, 2010 5 Saves, 1 Blown Save
SAVES:
Matt Capps (5) - Capps is on fire. Needed only two outs and seven pitches to record his fifth save of the season. He even added in a strikeout.
Andrew Bailey (1) - Bailey finally recorded a save and looked great doing it. He needed only 13 pitches and gave up a harmless hit disposing fo the Orioles.
Ryan Franklin (4) - Franklin pitched to contact tonight and was hammered, but held on for the save. He gave up two runs on three hits and ballooned his season ERA to 7.20.
Ryan Madson (3) - Looke sharp recording the last two outs of tonight's game sealing a 8-6 win. He needed only 6 pitches and gave up a hit.
Fernando Rodney (2) - Pitched another quick perfect inning and notched his second save in as many days.
BLOWN SAVES:
Octavio Dotel (1-0, BS 1) - Dotel had a rough night, but ended up with the win. He gave up a triple to Chris Dickerson and later let him score on a flyball that was sandwiched between two strikeouts. His season ERA now sits at 5.40 with the lone blown save.
APPEARANCES:
Jonathan Papelbon - Entered a 1-1 game and pitched a near perfect inning in pouring rain. He did walk one, but also struck out BJ Upton. The game was called shortly after that, so Papelbon can still win the game when it's continued tomorrow.
Heath Bell (1-0) - Bell notched a win in a game where he was just getting some work. He entered the game in the ninth inning down 3-2 and the Padres pulled a come back to win 6-3. Bell pitched a perfect inning, but no strikeouts.
Bobby Jenks - Pitched a inning and gave up a hit and a strikeout.
Carlos Marmol - Pitched a inning in a non-save situation. Looked sharp, striking out two and giving up a hit. His season ERA is still a flat 0.00 and his WHIP 0.56.
