Valverde's run at club's saves record on hold
KANSAS CITY -- The day after Jose Valverde tied Willie Hernandez's
Tigers record for consecutive saves in a season, he was
guaranteed to share the mark for at least couple more days.
Manager Jim Leyland gave Valverde an off-day on Sunday after he
pitched four out of the previous five days.
Valverde's save in Saturday night's 4-3 win over the Royals was
his 32nd in as many chances this year. It's the longest
single-season streak by any Major League reliever since Joakim
Soria converted 36 consecutive saves last year, and the longest to
begin a season since Brad Lidge saved 41 straight for the
Phillies in 2008.
Saturday's save was the ninth of Justin Verlander's 16 wins this
season that Valverde has closed. Understandably, Verlander had a
good amount of praise for what Valverde has accomplished.
"It's amazing," Verlander said. "You look at his body of work, and
they're usually not easy saves. A lot of them are one-run games."
Leyland was asked on Saturday about similarities between Valverde
and Hernandez.
"I guess the fact that they were both really good under pressure,"
Leyland said. "Obviously, one of them's left [handed] and one's
right. But if I remember right, [Hernandez] had a good screwball
and a changeup. There's similarities in the jobs getting done,
that's for sure."
