Los Angeles Dodgers – Don Mattingly went to Kenley Jansen with runners on 1st and 2nd and nobody out in the 8th. That left Brandon League for the 9th and he blew his second save in his last four chances. Ronald Belisario ended up picking up the save in extra innings. Ronald Belisario to 2nd in line, replacing Paco Rodriguez.

Milwaukee Brewers – Francisco Rodriguez pitched a perfect 9th inning with 2 strikeouts and picked up his second save of the season last night. He has pitched very well since getting called up and appears to have taken control of the 9th inning while Henderson is out. No hierarchy change.

VULTURE SAVE WATCH
1. Kenley Jansen, Los Angeles Dodgers – It’s always possible that the Dodgers use their best reliever in the 9th, especially after Brandon League blew another save last night.
