Grant Balfour gets 9th Save
Grant Balfour slammed the door on the Royals on Thursday, retiring all three batters he faced for his ninth save.
Balfour in the ninth-inning role was only supposed to be a temporary move designed to spell the struggling Ryan Cook, but he’s now converted both of his save chances.
Cook also pitched well in a setup role on Thursday, getting two crucial outs in the eighth inning.
