Doolittle snagged his 18th save of the season where he gave up one hit and struck out two hitters in an inning pitched. Athletics GM Billy Beane continues to look like a genius as the transformation of Doolittle into one of the better relievers in the game is awe inspiring. Doolittle (2.44 ERA, 73K in 51.2 IP)is in no danger of losing his job as the A's closer.
