Jason Grilli struck out two over a perfect inning Wednesday against the Cubs to record his first save of the season. Grilli got Anthony Rizzo to ground out before sitting down Alfonso Soriano and Nate Schierholtz swinging. The veteran reliever is taking over the Pirates' closer gig this season after one-and-a-half terrific years with the Pirates. He's got the stuff to succeed, but it remains to be seen how long his leash will be if he struggles.
