Huston Street notched his 11th save Monday by tossing a perfect ninth as the Padres beat the Cardinals 4-2.

This was Street's first perfect complete inning since May 8 against the Marlins. Street has been uncharacteristically wild this season and that has led to an 0-3 record, 4.19 ERA and 1.24 WHIP (19 points above his career mark). If Street can improve upon his 13/8 K/BB rate (over 20 appearances), he'll have another good season as San Diego's stopper. If he doesn't iron out his control issues, it could be a long year. Street's stuff simply isn't good enough (he's allowed six homers in 2013) to compensate for extra base runners.

Huston Street earned his ninth save of the year Tuesday as the Padres beat the Orioles 3-2.

The Padres were trailing 2-1 heading into the top of the ninth inning but managed a rare two-run rally against Orioles closer Jim Johnson. Street then shut the O's down in the bottom of the ninth. He owns a weak 4.60 ERA and 1.34 WHIP through 15 2/3 innings this season but still carries very good job security.

Huston Street blew his first save of the 2013 season on Saturday night, surrendering a two-out, two-run homer to Rays third baseman Evan Longoria.

It's a devastating loss for the Padres, who clawed back from a 6-2 deficit to take a 7-6 lead into the ninth. Street retired the first two hitters he faced before walking Ben Zobrist to set up Longoria's dramatics. With the loss, Street falls to 0-2 on the season with a 4.91 ERA and 1.36 WHIP. But he's still the closer in San Diego.

Huston Street recorded his seventh save despite giving up a three-run homer in the ninth inning Friday against the Diamondbacks.

The Padres wanted to get through the ninth with Brad Brach in a 7-3 game tonight, but he was pulled after giving up a hit and a walk to the first two hitters he faced. Street came in and got two outs, but then gave up a homer to Gerardo Parra, making it a 7-6 game. He retired Martin Prado afterwards to record the save. The homer was the fourth he's allowed in 12 innings this season. Last year, he allowed a total of two in 39 innings.

Street isn't missing many bats right now, but he got the strikeout and groundout he needed to escape tonight's jam. Although he has been shaky, he's still managed to go 4-for-4 in save opportunities.

Thanks to a batter's interference call that ended the game, Huston Street notched his third save Wednesday against the Brewers.

Street had already allowed a run before Martin Maldonado was called out for having the ball hit him outside of the box. While Street has yet to take a blown save, he's turned in just three scoreless appearances in seven outings.
