Watson blew his fourth save as he allowed a solo home run to tie the game in the ninth inning Monday against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Two of those blown saves came before Watson took over as closer in August, so he has been more successful than his 10-for-14 conversion rate would suggest. Still, he has just a 9:5 K:BB, and this is already the second homer he has allowed in just 12.2 innings this month -- hardly peripherals that inspire confidence in Watson's ability to close long term.
