Cleveland Indians – Cody Allen owners can keep rejoicing, as their man picked up another save for Cleveland on Tuesday. Andrew Miller perhaps was more impressive, however, as he mowed down the 9-through-5 hitters on just 16 pitches in the seventh and eighth innings. Terry Francona remains committed to using Miller against the best batters and frustrating Miller owners everywhere.
Hierarchy remains: *Allen | Miller | Shaw.

Los Angeles Angels — After losing 11 games in a row, the Angels finally picked up a win. That meant that Fernando Salas finally picked up a save, his third of the season. Meanwhile, there is no timetable for the return of either Cam Bedrosian or Huston Street.
Hierarchy remains: *Salas | Ramirez | Guerra.
