Scott Barlow Stats

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.

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Scott Barlow had a bit of a rocky ninth inning in Saturday's game against the Seattle Mariners, but he did enough to close things out and earn his 10th save on the year. He allowed two hits and an earned run in the ninth while recording one strikeout. The Royals went on to win the game 4-2. Barlow looks like the clear closer for the Royals right now. He's earned each of the last four saves for the team. The Royals don't have many other options to go with in the ninth inning as Greg Holland (shoulder), Jake Brentz (shoulder) and Josh Staumont are all on the injured list.
