Kansas City Royals closer Scott Barlow shut the door on the Detroit Tigers on Friday to earn his 15th save of the year. He pitched a scoreless ninth inning, allowing no walks or hits. Barlow has converted each of his five save opportunities this month. He's allowed just four hits, three walks and one earned run over eight innings in September. The 28-year-old right-hander should continue to see a good amount of save opportunities over the final stretch of the year as the team has a favorable schedule going forward. After this weekend's series against the Tigers, the Royals close the year with the Cleveland Indians and the Minnesota Twins.

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Scott Barlow was called upon to close out Game 2 of the team's doubleheader against the Cleveland Indians on Monday. He entered in the seventh inning while the team was ahead 4-1. He went on to give up a solo home run to Bobby Bradley, but that was the only damage that was done. Barlow recorded two strikeouts in the inning and went on to earn his 14th save of the year. The 28-year-old has now converted six consecutive save opportunities and appears to be the clear closer for the team. He should be rostered in all leagues where saves are scarce for the final weeks of the year.
