Toronto closer B.J. Ryan got the Jason Motte treatment Saturday in Cleveland. Following closer candidate Scott Downs, who worked an 18-pitch, one-hit eight, Ryan imploded. With two outs and the bases cleared, Ryan gave up a single, a pair of walks and a three-RBI double to Mark DeRosa. Jays manager Cito Gaston promptly pulled Downs, and Jason Frasor struck out Victor Martinez to clinch a 5-4 save.
Fantasy Impact: We continue to watch closely as Downs out-pitches Ryan and looks better equipped for the closer role at this time. Frasor got the save chance because Downs was already used in the eighth.
