Toronto Blue Jays reliever Tyler Clippard didn't start the ninth inning on Tuesday against the New York Mets, but he was the one that finished it. With an 8-6 lead, John Axford got the initial call in the final frame for Toronto, but after allowing a two-out single to outfielder Jose Bautista followed by a walk to second baseman Asdrubal Cabrera, he got the hook. In came Clippard, who induced a game-ending ground out from outfielder Michael Conforto on three pitches. [...]

It is becoming clearer and clearer that the Toronto Blue Jays are more than set on reliever Tyler Clippard as their new closer in the wake of Roberto Osuna's indefinite absence. Clippard saw the ninth inning once again on Tuesday in a 5-3 win over the Los Angeles Angels, picking up his second save by pitching a perfect inning with one strikeout.

Toronto Blue Jays reliever Tyler Clippard seems to be the team's candidate of choice for the closer role with Roberto Osuna out indefinitely, but that may be up in the air after Saturday.

Tepera appeared to be the safest bet for saves in Toronto,[...]

While many speculated Ryan Tepera would be the man of the hour, he did not get the first crack. That honor went to Tyler Clippard in a 5-2 victory over the Seattle Mariners on [...]
