They weren't closers obviously, although I remember Jose trying to pitch once.

After walking the first two batters on Sunday, Aroldis Chapman got "a little help" from a game-ending triple play to lock down the save.
It was the third triple-play for the Yankees defense this season, which ties the MLB record.
Teams with 3 triple plays in a season:
2021 New York Yankees
2016 Chicago White Sox
1979 Boston Red Sox
1979 Oakland A’s
1965 Chicago Cubs
1964 Philadelphia Phillies
1924 Boston Red Sox
1911 Detroit Tigers
1890 Rochester Broncos
1886 Brooklyn Grays
1885 New York Giants
1882 Cincinnati Red Stockings“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

DBacks were SO close to getting their first 'real' (non 3-IP blowout variety which happened once) SV since May 10 !
but they lead 5-1 in the top of the 9th, alas.
maybe next game!
and they are on a 6-41 "slump" since May 1 after a 14-12 April, so any W at all might get the champagne corks popping. Merrill Kelly with a gem tonight.finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

gotta place some blame on the manager and alot of blame on Alvarado for not making an easy throw to 1st. Why call Alvarado up in the 6th for a 2 inning save? He had Ranger Suarez available to pitch the 6th and then Alvarado pitch the 7th to close it out.
Alvarado however looked really good in the outing - his slider was downright nasty for both innings and his FB was hitting 100. Got out of the jam Nola left in the 6th and would have had the save in the 7th but he blew an easy throw to first base for the first out of the inning that came around to score. ( He wouldn't have had to pitch to Lindor if he had made the easy throw to 1st). And, shouldn't Hoskins have been wearing his sunglasses? seems like he would have known during warm ups to begin the inning that the sun was going to be a problem ??
high throw to first.

As the dust settles, who does the RJ see as the closer in Houston ROS, the have Pressly, Yimi, Graveman, StanekIf I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011
