Closer Watch
Baltimore – Jim Johnson blew Friday's save opportunity but manager Buck Showalter has pledged his commitment to Johnson and he rebounded with a converted save Sunday.

Chicago Cubs – Kevin Gregg blew a one run lead in the ninth Sunday. It was just his second blown save, so there is no chance the Cubs are thinking about a change at this time unless Gregg is traded.
