Rays' Garrett Cleavinger: Notches save Thursday

Cleavinger earned a save against the Red Sox on Thursday, striking out two batters in a perfect inning of work.

Cleavinger threw 15 of 19 pitches for strikes and recorded multiple punchouts for the first time since Aug. 14. The save was his second of September and his sixth overall this season. The last three Rays saves have been claimed by three different relievers, so it's clear that the team prefers a committee approach to the closer role.
