Kelley got his second one-out save in as many days Friday, allowing one hit before striking out Eduardo Nunez to preserve a win over the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

As he had the night before, Nats manager Dusty Baker used a left-handed reliever (Felipe Rivero on Friday, Oliver Perez on Thursday) to face a couple of lefties prior to summoning Kelley, which suggests that closing opportunities could depend on matchups until Jonathan Papelbon gets his job back or the team adds a high-profile closer at the trade deadline. Nonetheless, it was Kelley who notched his second straight save Friday and sixth of the season, so he could make for a useful short-term saves play.
