Texas Rangers – The Rangers gave Neftali Feliz the night off after pitching two days in a row and Neal Cotts picked up his first save of the season. Despite his recent struggles (and his 9 losses on the season), it looks like Cotts will get the first shot at saves when Feliz is unavailable.
Updated hierarchy: Feliz | Cotts | Tolleson.
St. Louis Cardinals — Pat Neshek got the last two outs of the 9th inning for his 6th save of the season last night. Manager Mike Matheny said that he does not want to use closer Trevor Rosenthal or Neshek on consecutive days if he can avoid it the rest of the season.
Hierarchy remains: Rosenthal | Neshek | Martinez.
