Chris Perez saves his tenth

Chris Perez earned his tenth save by tossing a scoreless ninth against the Yankees Tuesday night.

Perez did give up two hits to make it interesting, but now has nine strikeouts in his last 9.1 innings, and has performed admirably while Kerry Wood has been out with a blister. If only he hadn't walked nine in his last 9.1 innings as well, he'd be a lock to keep the role all year. On the other hand, the team would rather trade Wood, so Perez is a great final closer on mixed league teams, and should be owned in all leagues by now.
