 DENVER (AP) - Good thing for Brian Fuentes that the All-Star votes were already counted. After becoming the first closer in nearly 20 years to blow four straight save chances, the Colorado Rockies reliever was picked for the NL All-Star team.
The struggles also cost Fuentes his job, at least temporarily. Manager Clint Hurdle decided to go with a committee of closers and work in Fuentes when he can pitch in less stressful situations.
"I've had 10 good weeks and one bad week," Fuentes said. "It's been a real bad week, but that's the way it goes. Everybody has down times."
