John Axford closes the door
by Kyle Smith | Wed, May 20th 1:28am EDT
The Colorado Rockies finally got some offense going on Tuesday and entered the ninth inning with a 6-to-5 lead. Rockies closer John Axford entered the game and pitched a perfect ninth inning for his fifth save of the season.
Fantasy Impact:
The Rockies are on their third closer of the season so far, but Axford has done well in the closer role. Save opportunities have been rare for Axford thus far as the Rockies have not been getting very many wins. Axford deserves a roster spot but just be aware of the lack of opportunities he receives.
