The righty has had some down performances here and there but has largely excelled in his second stint as the Twins closer. The key to his success has been his cutter, which has yielded a .195 opponent batting average and a 30.7 ...

This breaks a streak of nine consecutive scoreless outings for Colome, during which time he's registered five saves.
