Miami Marlins — Chad Qualls was awful for the third straight game, loading the bases without getting any outs. Mike Dunn relieved him and has been much more effective lately. Hierarchy change: Mike Dunn to Set-up, Chad Qualls to 2nd in line.

Kansas City Royals — Luke Hochevar got the last out of the eighth and stayed on for the ninth after the Royals scored two, earning a four-out save. Hochevar’s numbers are excellent, but the Kansas City bullpen is packed. No hierarchy change.
