Sergio Romo is 12-for-14 in save opportunities this season.

Romo has been scored upon in each of his last two appearances, so he now has a 3.12 ERA and 19/3 K/BB ratio over 17 1/3 innings. The Giants figures to play it safe with his workload, but he still has the chance to be one of the better fantasy closers.

Sergio Romo is not available for Saturday's game against the Cubs.

Romo has been overworked the last few days and took his first blown save in Friday's loss to the Cubs, so he'll get a scheduled game off. The Giants will likely go with Santiago Casilla in a save situation.

Sergio Romo took his first blown save and loss after giving up two runs in two-thirds of an inning against the Cubs on Friday.

Romo gave up a homer to a left-hander (switch-hitter Dioner Navarro) for just the fourth time in his career. While this can likely just be chalked up to a bad day, the fact is that Romo isn't used to this kind of workload he's received the first two weeks. Today was his seventh inning of work in the Giants' 11th game. His career high for innings is 62, and he's thrown 48 and 55 the last two years.

Sergio Romo locked down his sixth save of the season Thursday against the Cubs.

Romo entered the game with a one-run lead and gave up a one-out double to David DeJesus, but he was able to strike out Starlin Castro swinging and set aside Anthony Rizzo looking to end it. The 30-year-old now has a 10/0 K/BB ratio over six scoreless innings this season. The Giants will likely give Romo rest when possible, but he has the potential to be one of the top closers in the game if healthy.

Giants manager Bruce Bochy would like to stay away from using Sergio Romo and Santiago Casilla on Wednesday.

Romo and Casilla have both pitched on back-to-back days. Bochy plans to check in with them before Wednesday's game, but he's hopeful to give them a break if possible. Jeremy Affeldt or Javier Lopez could be in the mix for a save chance if they are both unavailable.

Sergio Romo allowed two runs on three hits to blow a save chance in Mexico's loss to Italy during World Baseball Classic play Thursday.

Romo wasn't terribly sharp, but he didn't get much help from his defense. Left fielder Edgar Gonzalez, who has played mostly the infield during his career, misplayed two balls in the ninth, including Anthony Rizzo's go-ahead double. Romo will be the Giants' main closer this season, though manager Bruce Bochy has expressed a desire to keep his workload down.
