Fernando Rodney - R - Rays

Rays manager Joe Maddon said after Saturday's blown save that he's still confident in closer Fernando Rodney.

The blown save was Rodney's fifth of the year and his second in two games after blowing just two all of last season. The right-hander now has a 6.05 ERA, and while votes of confidence are nice, they fade quickly when results don't follow. Rodney remains the closer for now, but the leash is likely very short. Joel Peralta is a must-have.

Lyle Overbay - 1B - Yankees

Lyle Overbay cranked a go-ahead homer in the top of the 11th inning to lead the Yankees past the Rays by a score of 4-3 on Saturday night at Tropicana Field.

Overbay also scored a crucial run in the top of the ninth inning that helped extend the game to extras. His solo shot in the 11th then put the Yankees ahead for good. Overbay, 36, has eight home runs and 28 RBI in 46 games this season. He has been a nice surprise.

Fernando Rodney - R - Rays

Fernando Rodney blew his fifth save of the season Saturday in the Rays' loss to the Yankees.

Rodney entered the game with Tampa Bay leading by two. He got Ichiro Suzuki to fly out and fanned Jayson Nix, but Lyle Overbay drew a walk, Brennan Boesch doubled and Brett Gardner singled. That all netted the Bombers two runs and they broke through to win it in the 11th. Rodney is a mess right now. Joel Peralta needs to be owned in all standard fantasy leagues.

Mariano Rivera - R - Yankees

Mariano Rivera earned his 18th save of the season in the Yankees' win over the Rays on Saturday.

Rivera has been nearly perfect this year, boasting a 1.40 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 16/2 K/BB ratio in 19 1/3 innings. The veteran righty is 18-for-18 in save opportunities.

Vidal Nuno - R - Yankees

Vidal Nuno held the Rays to two earned runs in six frames Saturday as the Yankees won in extra innings.

Nuno was again solid, yielding only five hits and one walk in what was his second career major league start. He's been steady in spot duty this year for the Yankees but seems due for a blowup. We probably wouldn't trust him outside of AL-only fantasy leagues.
May 25 - 8:20 PM
Matt Moore - S - Rays

Matt Moore took a no-decision despite allowing only one run in six innings Saturday against the Yankees.

The Rays lost in extra innings after closer Fernando Rodney blew yet another save in the ninth. Moore did his part, limiting the Yankees to five hits and two walks. The 23-year-old left-hander is 8-0 with a 2.21 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 56/28 K/BB ratio in 61 innings this season. He should keep rolling next week against the Marlins.
May 25 - 8:17 PM
John Gast - S - Cardinals

John Gast left in the second inning of his start Saturday against the Dodgers due to left shoulder tightness.

Gast's velocity was down from the first pitch, so it's not surprising to find out that he was dealing with an injury. If he has to make a trip to the disabled list, reliever Joe Kelly or last year's first-round pick Michael Wacha could be options to replace him in the rotation.

Angel Pagan - OF - Giants

Angel Pagan hit a walkoff two-run inside-the-park homer in the 10th inning Saturday as the Giants marched back to defeat the Rockies by a score of 6-5.

The Giants trailed at two different points in the game but kept plugging away and finally broke through when Pagan launched a towering shot to "Triples Alley" at AT&T Park with one out in the bottom of the 10th. The ball bounced high off the wall and into center field, allowing Pagan to travel all the way around the diamond. It was a wild finish.
