The Closer Report: April 22, 2010
SAVES:
Andrew Bailey (2) - Bailey ruled the New York Yankees with a 12 pitch save. He didn't record any strikeouts, but one hit. His ERA is still at 0.00 and he's healthy.
Francisco Cordero (6) - Cordero nailed his sixth save of the season. He gave up a hit and a walk, but no runs.
Francisco Rodriguez (1) - KROD finally recorded his first save of the season. He pitched 1.2 perfect innings and struck out three batters. This was an excellent appearance for the stud closer. His ERA and WHIP were lowered 1.17.
Jose Valverde (5) - I Watched an excited Valverde close out the Angels. He was wild at first, walking Bobby Abreau. After that he calmed down and got Tori Hunter to bang into a double play and then got Matsui to ground out to first to end the game. In all it took ten pitches. Great appearance for Valverde.
