Closer Watch

Yankees – With Mariano Rivera having blown three straight save chances, Joe Girardi used a combination of Boone Logan and David Robertson to finish things off in the ninth Monday. They did so in shaky fashion, combining to allow two hits, two walks and a run, but they still got it done. Robertson was especially rough, but he was credited with the save nonetheless. Expect Mariano to get the next chance.

Blue Jays – Casey Janssen was tasked with the ever-horrifying non-save situation Monday, entering a tie game in the ninth, and he totally imploded, allowing four runs to the A's to take his first loss of the year. He's given up a whopping seven hits in his last two outings – both against Oakland – but there's probably not much to worry about here as far as job security. Unfortunately, Janssen doesn't get a lot of save chances for the unimpressive Jays.

Mariners – There goes that Danny Farquhar again. He's rattled off four straight saves with nary a blemish, including Sunday's game against Milwaukee. With his comfort in the role and that eye-popping 56:14 K:BB on the year, Farquhar looks like he's got a good chance to hold onto Seattle's closing job for the rest of this season. (Ten points if you get the reference from the headline!)

Other Recent Recommendations: Dan Haren, Henderson Alvarez, Bruce Chen, Robbie Grossman, Stephen Drew
