Jim Henderson earned his seventh save of the season as the Brewers beat the Rangers on Tuesday.

Henderson allowed a two-out double to David Murphy in the top of the ninth inning but was able to escape the jam. The 30-year-old right-hander now has a spectacular 1.29 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 17/4 K/BB ratio in 14 innings this season and he has not blown a save opportunity.

Jim Henderson recorded his fifth save with a hitless ninth Tuesday against the Padres.

It's going to be interesting to see what the Brewers do here with John Axford turning in his sixth straight scoreless appearance tonight. Henderson has allowed just one run in 10 innings this season, so there's no reason to make a change right now. Still, the Brewers may go back to Axford if he keeps it up for another week or two.

Jim Henderson notched his third save of the season in Friday's win over the Cubs.

Dioner Navarro reached with a two-out single in the top of the ninth, but Jonathan Lucroy was able to throw out pinch-runner Julio Borbon on a stolen base attempt at second base to finish off the one-run victory. Henderson has allowed just one run over eight innings this season to go along with a 10/1 K/BB ratio. While Axford has pitched much better recently in lower-leverage situations, Henderson is the pitcher to own in this bullpen at the moment.

Jim Henderson earned his second save of the season in the Brewers' 10-8 victory over the Giants on Tuesday.

It wasn't quite smooth sailing for the big man, as Buster Posey greeted him with a double to lead off the inning. Posey would later score on a Brandon Belt single, but Henderson eventually got Andres Torres to fly out to end the game. With John Axford still flailing, the closer job should remain with Henderson as long as he remains relatively effective.

Jim Henderson recorded his first save of the season in Monday's win over the Cubs.

The Brewers had a four run lead, but Henderson had to bail out Brandon Kintzler after he loaded the bases with three straight singles. It's another sign that John Axford has officially been phased out at closer. Henderson allowed one unearned run before striking out Steve Clevenger and Dave Sappelt. He got Starlin Castro to fly out to right field to end the game.

I made an executive decision over the weekend when I was away drinking champagne and sitting in front of the fire with my friend in Carmel (she was decidedly better looking than the Peep that you see in main photo, and she is even sweeter than my sugary friend as well). I decided that every [...]

It's already started, and no one is pleased about it. I'm not talking about the fact that Kim Kardashian is wearing tight skirts and sexy outfits despite being pregnant and really showing (am I the only one that thinks that is a hideous look?). I'm talking about 9th inning woes. Last year two-thirds of closers [...]
