Closer Watch

Baltimore – Darren O'Day entered Sunday's game looking to get a hold, but he earned a save when the Orioles took a four run lead. Jim Johnson, who remained on the bench, is still the closer.

Chicago White Sox – After Addison Reed converted his first ten save opportunities, he blew Sunday's opportunity by allowing two runs to the Royals. Reed is still entrenched as the closer.

Cincinnati – Rather than call Aroldis Chapman or Jonathan Broxton for a third straight day, J.J. Hoover earned Sunday's save, his second in three days. Hoover let two batters reach before closing the door. Chapman is still the regular closer.

Marcell Ozuna, OF, MIA – With several Marlins on the DL, Ozuna was called up from Double-A and in less than a week he has made his presence known. Ozuna moved into a starting role and put together a six game hitting streak that was still active after Sunday's game. He hit his first homer and had three runs and three RBIs Sunday.
