Rafael Soriano on Monday Night...Only Third Pitcher to Ever Have 9pitch, 3 K save

Latroy Hawkins 2004 and Mel Rojas in the early 1990s are the only two other pitchers in MLB history to have a nine pitch, nine strike (3 outs) inning to collect a game-ending Save.


hat tip to the Rays TV broadcast crew in tonight's game

kinda cool I guess but really meaningless. list would be a lot longer if there was no such thing as a "waste pitch"

DUNEDIN, Fla. -- Former All-Star closer Rafael Soriano has signed a minor league contract with the Toronto Blue Jays.
The AL East champions said Sunday that the right-handed reliever will be invited to spring training.




The 36-year-old Soriano pitched six games for the Chicago Cubs last July after signing as a free agent, going 2-0 with a 6.35 ERA. His last full season came in 2014 with the Washington Nationals.
An All-Star with Tampa Bay in 2010, Soriano ranks eighth among active pitchers with 207 career saves. He has also spent time with the Seattle Mariners, Atlanta Braves and New York Yankees over 14 big league seasons.
In the offseason, the Blue Jays also got former Washington closer Drew Storen in a trade.</form>
