Colome allowed a hit but struck out the side for his league-leading 40th save Wednesday against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

He's now opened up a four-save lead over the Rockies' Greg Holland, and Colome's finally started piling up some strikeouts lately. The righty's last four appearances have seen him put up eight strikeouts without a walk over four innings, marking quite the change of pace from the 7.4 K/9 he was sitting on before this stretch. If he can keep missing bats down the stretch, Colome should be able to improve upon his ratios -- with a 3.02 ERA and 1.17 WHIP, he's well short of elite by bullpen standards.
