The Closer Report (June 5)
Saves: 5
Save Opportunities: 6
Not many saves tonight, but plenty of closer action.
There might have only been five saves today, but there was plenty of closer action. Jonathan Broxton battled Brad Lidge in the ninth inning for the game.
Broxton was amazing for his half inning, striking out 3 and allowing a single to Jayson Werth. Lidge got the first two outs of the ninth inning, but then he fell apart. Giving up a single and then walking Loney.
