Matt Belisle earns second save
by Dan Harris | Tue, Aug 8th 1:48pm EDT
Matt Belisle pitched a scoreless ninth inning against the Brewers on Monday to preserve the Twins' 5-4 lead and earn his second save of the season. He allowed just one hit and struck out one.
Fantasy Impact:
While Paul Molitor insists that he will mix and match in the ninth inning, Belisle has received and converted each of the last two save chances. Further cementing Belisle's likely role as the closer is the fact that both opportunities represented one-run leads, and Belisle converted them with ease. While it wouldn't be surprising to see Taylor Rogers get the occasional save chance with several lefties due up in the ninth inning, it looks likely that this is Belisle's job to lose.
