Oakland A’s – Bob Melvin told the San Francisco Chronicle before Saturday’s game that he would employ a closer-by-committee going forward, with Ryan Cook, Brian Fuentes, and Grant Balfour involved. Melvin also said that Ryan Cook was his best option in any tough situation, making him the best bet to win the job going forward. Cook could get a save chance as soon as tonight. Hierarchy change: Ryan Cook to Closer, Brian Fuentes to Set-up.
