With Ryan Cook needing the night off, Sean Doolittle got the call in the ninth Saturday and protected a one-run lead against the Yankees for his first career save. Doolittle allowed a leadoff single to Alex Rodriguez, but he struck out the next three batters he faced in an impressive debut. Cook's status as Oakland's closer is secure at the moment, but Doolittle possesses the best stuff in the team's pen. He's certainly going to be a sleeper candidate for saves next year.
