Milwaukee Brewers – Francisco Rodriguez pitched a clean 7th inning on Tuesday, picking up his 25th hold of the year.  K-Rod actually was summoned a week ago for a save chance when John Axford was unavailable, and while he blew that save chance, he has reestablished himself as a late-inning reliever in the Brewers bullpen.  Hierarchy change: Francisco Rodriguez to 2nd in line, replacing Kameron Loe.

1. Brandon League, Los Angeles Dodgers – Ronald Belisario has pitched in three straight.  With the Dodgers using a committee anyway, League is certain to get a save opportunity tonight if the Dodgers have a lead.
2. Javier Lopez, San Francisco Giants – Javier Lopez and Sergio Romo continue to share the 9th inning role for the Giants.
