Fuentes perfect for fourth save: A's closer Brian Fuentes entered Monday's series opener against the Angels in the ninth inning with a one-run lead. The left-hander needed just 11 pitches to retire the side in order and secure the 2-1 win. Fuentes collected his fourth save of the season while lowering his ERA to 3.18. (Updated 05/22/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Fuentes has converted all four of his save chances in May and also has a win. He has a 1.74 ERA in his last 10 appearances and should remain the closer for Oakland as long as he is effective. The 36-year-old should be viewed as a viable source of saves in deeper Fantasy formats at this point. (Updated 05/22/2012).
