Soriano threw a bullpen session on Monday and felt he was better able to keep the ball down in the strike zone, the Washington Post reports. "He's flying open," pitching coach Steve McCatty said. "We've talked about it a million times with pitchers. When you're flying open, the ball gets elevated. Just staying back and getting in a proper position, and releasing the ball out front instead of falling behind you." Drew Storen has looked very good in converting two saves while Soriano gets his mechanics under control, so don't look for the Nats to rush Soriano back into the closer role. Look for him to see work in non-save situations this week before manager Matt Williams considers giving him his job back.
