Los Angeles Angels – Mike Mayers continued his sparkling run, collecting his first save of the year with two perfect innings against the Rangers. Mayers has now allowed just 1 earned run in his last 24 innings (including his most recent stretch, when he’s retired 42 of the last 45 hitters faced), and with Ty Buttrey struggling again in his last outing on Sunday, the Angels might do well to let Mayers close the rest of the way.
Updated hierarchy: *Mayers | Buttrey | Pena.
