He’s clearly been the most effective arm in the Cubs’ bullpen, so we’re shuffling him up to the top of the committee. tossed two solid innings in extras to drop his to 1.13. Hierarchy remains: Sewald | Topa | Brash.Ĭhicago Cubs – Another shaky outing pushed Brad Boxberger’s ERA to 4.50 meanwhile, Mark Leiter Jr. Topa converted and is cementing himself as the best alternative on nights when Sewald is unavailable. Seattle Mariners – With Paul Sewald seeing a good bit of action lately, the Mariners gave the ball to Justin Topa in the 9th inning with a 2-run lead. Updated hierarchy: Finnegan | Harvey | Edwards. We’ll shuffle him up to handcuff status as a reward. Washington Nationals – Hunter Harvey got the save chance after the Nationals rallied to take the lead in the top of the 9th, and the righty converted for his first save of the season. Though we love him even more because his first name is Andy, the Nard Dog doesn’t factor in to the Marlins’ usual late-inning plans. Miami Marlins – Andrew Nardi, the 6th man out of the bullpen, picked up a 14th inning save on Sunday, the first of his career. Updated hierarchy: *King | Holmes | Hamilton. This situation is still very fluid, but it’s probably safe to say that on any given night, King has a better chance at a save than Holmes, even if it’s still questionable whether he can pitch on back to back nights with any consistency. New York Yankees – In a tie game against the Rays, the Yankees went with Clay Holmes in the 7th, Wandy Peralta in the 8th, and Michael King in the 9th. Hierarchy remains: Alvarado | Kimbrel | Dominguez. But in what is potentially more relevant news, Jose Alvarado was used in the 7th against the heart of the Boston lineup, which makes it more likely we’re headed back to a committee situation here. Philadelphia Phillies – Matt Strahm came on for the 8th inning to protect a 3-run lead, then stayed on for the 9th after the Phillies stretched their lead further, earning his first career save.
