“Shocking Closer Shakeup: Romano’s Collapse Paves the Way for Clase’s Rising Star Moment!”

Walker recorded a save against the Mariners on Saturday, then pitched a clean inning against the Reds on Wednesday with the game tied in the ninth. He’s converted three saves with five strikeouts and one run allowed over six innings.
Rocco Baldelli’s shenanigans in the ninth inning never stop. Presumed closer Duran has now worked the eighth inning in three of his five appearances. He recorded a hold on Sunday against the Astros, pitching a clean inning against the 8-9-1 batters in the order. Griffin Jax got the save chance in the ninth and blew the lead. Duran is still the likeliest to get the majority of save chances in Minnesota, but recent usage tells us not to expect a 30-save season for the 27-year-old right-hander. If not for the Twins scoring one more run in the ninth on Wednesday, he’d have gotten the save. Instead, he pitched a scoreless inning with a four-run lead.
