Sean Doolittle slammed the door on the Orioles in the 11th inning on Friday, striking out each of the three hitters that he faced to protect a one-run advantage. There hasn't been a better pitcher in baseball over the past five weeks, as Doolittle hasn't allowed a run in his last 16 appearances (17 1/3 innings) while posting an absolutely dominant 29/1 K/BB ratio. He looks poised to lock down the closer's job in Oakland for the foreseeable future and needs to be started in all mixed leagues.
