Seattle Mariners – Josh Kinney picked up a 2.1 inning save on Sunday.  He finished off the 7th inning in a one-run game, then stayed on for the last two innings after the Mariners scored three more runs. Kinney does not factor in to Seattle’s usual late-inning plans.  No hierarchy change.

1. Jonathan Broxton, Cincinnati Reds – Aroldis Chapman has pitched in three straight.
2. Jared Burton, Minnesota Twins – The Twins are employing a committee, and while Glen Perkins remains the best bet for saves overall, Jared Burton could get an opportunity whenever match-ups are right.
