    • Lawrence blows another save Saturday
      Justin Lawrence allowed three runs and blew the save against the Phillies on Saturday.



      Advice: The Rockies’ bullpen usage was interesting to say the least. Jalen Beeks, who has four saves this year, entered in the seventh inning. After pitching a scoreless 1 1/3 innings, Beeks started the ninth inning by walking Brandon Marsh. Lawrence came in and immediately allowed a game-tying triple to Edmundo Sosa. Garrett Stubs followed with a single to put the Phillies ahead. Lawrence’s ERA is up to 5.91 now. He has two saves this year and is in the mix for future save opportunities, but this bullpen situation isn’t pretty.

    • Picks up one-out save
      Megill recorded a one-out save in Saturday's 6-3 victory over the Red Sox.

      Advice: The Brewers were hoping to give Megill the night off, but they were forced to turn to him with two outs in the bottom of the ninth and the tying run in the batter's box. Megill surrendered an RBI single to the first batter he faced to let one inherited runner score, but he quickly rebounded with a strikeout to end it. Having converted each of the Brewers' last eight traditional saves, Megill is the clear closer in Milwaukee. Rotowire.com Saturday, 7:40 pm
       
    • Trevor Megill records one-out save vs. Red Sox
      Trevor Megill got the final out to get a save Saturday against the Red Sox.

      Advice: Megill did give up a hit, but he was able to get the final out via strikeout to procure his eighth save of 2024 and lowered his ERA to 1.93 in the process. There’s obviously loads of reasons to think he’ll continue to see save chances while Devin Williams remains out with injury. Rotoworld Saturday, 4:02 pm
       
    • Back-to-back blown saves
      Beeks allowed a run on two hits and struck out one over two-thirds of an inning to take a blown save versus the Athletics on Thursday.

      Advice: Beeks gave up a game-tying solo home run to Daz Cameron in the ninth inning. This was Beeks' second straight blown save, and it appears his high-wire act of allowing multiple baserunners in five straight contests is starting to come back to haunt him. On the year, Beeks has a 2.74 ERA, but a 1.35 WHIP and a 17:12 K:BB through 23 innings suggest he's been lucky to attain that level of run prevention. He's held the closer job for the Rockies for much of May, but that could come to an end if he doesn't right the ship quickly. Rotowire.com Thursday, 7:36 pm
       
    • Jalen Beeks blows another save Thursday
      Jalen Beeks blew his second save in as many days against the Athletics on Thursday.

      Advice: Beeks started the ninth inning with a one-run lead and immediately gave it up by allowing a home run to Athletics outfield Daz Cameron. He’s now converted just four of his seven opportunities for saves. The 30-year-old left-hander’s grip on the closer role in Colorado seems tenuous at best. Rotoworld Thursday, 4:02 pm
       
    • Blows save chance
      Beeks allowed one earned run on two hits and a walk to blow the save Wednesday against the Athletics.

      Advice: Beeks was tasked with protecting a one-run lead and retired two of the first three batters he faced. However, he went on to allow the next two hitters to reach base, blowing his first save since taking over as the Rockies' closer. Beeks has allowed only two earned runs in seven innings since stepping into ninth-inning duties, but his 1.57 WHIP and 6:4 K:BB in that span are likely more indicative of his future results.

    • Jalen Beeks blows save in Oakland
      Jalen Beeks allowed one run in the ninth inning to blow the save chance against the Athletics.

      Advice: Beeks was summoned to close out the game with a one-run lead in the ninth inning. A single and a walk put a runner in scoring position with two outs before Zack Gelof knocked a base hit to drive in the game-tying run. Beeks was able to keep the game tied to send it to extras. The 30-year-old left-hander is now 4-for-6 in save chances with a 2.42 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, and a 16/12 K/BB ratio across 22 1/3 innings. Rotoworld Wednesday, 9:53 pm
       
    • Evan Phillips to throw live bullpen on Thursday
      Evan Phillips (hamstring) is scheduled to throw a live bullpen session on Thursday at High-A Rancho Cucamonga.

      Advice: If all goes well with that session, he’ll begin a minor league rehab assignment there on Sunday. Phillips should only need a couple of tune-ups there before he’s ready to rejoin the Dodgers’ bullpen and return to his closer’s role. Rotoworld Wednesday, 5:06 pm

    • Notches seventh save
      Megill gave up a hit and struck out three in a scoreless ninth inning Tuesday to record his seventh save of the season in a 7-5 win over the Marlins.

      Advice: After blowing his first save of the season the night before, Megill bounced back and fired 11 of 14 pitches for strikes to get the job done, with five of his fastballs clocking in at 99 mph or higher. The right-hander sports a 1.98 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 17:3 K:BB through 13.2 innings this season, and with Devin Williams (back) just now beginning to toss a baseball, Megill figures to handle closing duties with Milwaukee for at least another couple months.
