Colome faced four batters and struck out three of them en route to his 10th save of the season Wednesday against Toronto.
Remember when Colome was just an interim closer, the man at the head of a committee with Brad Boxberger on the DL? Well, 16 appearances into 2016, Colome's putting up the best results we've ever seen from him in his first campaign as a full-time reliever. He's struck out a mighty impressive 24 batters in 17.1 innings while keeping runners off the bases (0.87 WHIP) and limiting the long ball. All in all, he's been spectacular, and multi-strikeout outings like his last three will help build his case to retain the closer job even when Boxberger returns from his rehab assignment, which could be within the next week.
