Tim Hill Records First MLB Save
6 years agoKansas City Royals reliever Tim Hill was called on to shut down the mighty Astros and preserve a 1-0 lead on Friday night, and he did it in perfect fashion to snag his first major league save. While the inning went swimmingly, it didn't sound like manager Ned Yost was tapping Hill to be his next closer after the game when he told reporters that reliever Wily Peralta was slotted to come in if Hill had allowed any of the three batters to reach base. There is no clear-cut favorite to take the closing job in KC at the moment, so owners probably shouldn't invest in anyone in particular just yet.
