Jose Valverde pitched a perfect ninth inning for a save versus the Indians on Thursday. It was Valverde's first save since May 27. He didn't look right in blowing a save against the Yankees on Saturday, but after three days off, he's come back with perfect innings the last two days and he seemed to have the splitter working better in this one. It is worth noting that he's now gone five straight outings without a strikeout.
