New York Mets — Carlos Torres picked up the save in the 14th inning yesterday. Also, despite pitching in the 8th inning yesterday and getting a hold, Daisuke Matsuzaka will no longer factor into the Mets late inning bullpen plans as he is being moved to the starting rotation.
Updated Hierarchy: Mejia | Familia | Torres
Los Angeles Dodgers — Jamey Wright collected a three inning save last night in a Dodgers blow out win. The 39-year-old reliever lowered his ERA under 3.00, but even with most of the Dodgers bullpen struggling we don’t see him being used in high leverage spots right now.
Updated hierarchy: Jansen | League | Howell.
Seattle Mariners – Yoervis Medina pitched a scoreless 8th ahead of closer Fernando Rodney with the Mariners up one run. He struck out two batters and picked up his 9th hold of the season.
Updated Hierarchy: Rodney | Farquhar | Medina
Toronto Blue Jays – Todd Redmond recorded a three inning save yesterday as the Blue Jays won by 10 runs.
Hierarchy Remains: Janssen | Cecil | Delabar
