Closer Watch
Mets -- Jon Rauch came into the ninth inning against the Marlins with two men on, a four-run lead and no outs. Rauch gave up a three-run home run against the first batter he faced, but then shut the Marlins down to earn his fourth save of the season. The last Met to earn a save before Rauch on Saturday was Frank Francisco on September 1, but the Mets leader in saves for 2012 has been day-to-day with elbow tendinitis. The Mets haven't won much in September, but if Francisco is healthy, he should be the teams ninth-inning man.

Dodgers -- Brandon League walked one and struck out one to get his fourth save since being acquired by the Dodgers from the Mariners where he recorded nine saves over 44-plus innings. League didn't get his first save opportunity while with the Dodgers until September 1, and since then no other reliever has been able to do the same now three weeks later. League appears to be the Dodgers guy right now, but Kanley Jansen is now healthy, and he had 25 saves before missing almost a month with a heart condition and could be in consideration to regain the role of closer.
