Though Cingrani got the save Friday, he doesn't have a defined role as the closer, nor does anyone else in the bullpen have a set role. "Because it's somewhat of a non-specified bullpen at this time, all of these guys are expecting to pitch at almost any point in time of the game," said manager Bryan Price. "For me, that's a good thing."

Of course, with the Reds bullpen pitching as poorly as it has, having allowed runs in 24 of 25 games, it makes sense that no one has earned the right to have a set role.
