Struggles In the 9th

The Twins had to replace closing pitcher Joe Nathan, who is second on their all time list for saves, only trailing Rick Aquilera by 5 saves for the club record. Nathan who blew 2 consecutive saves against the Rays this past weekend, was replaced by Matt Capps. Capps was the closer for the Washington Nationals before becoming a Twin last year. Nathan has moved to the set up position for now, where he will be working on his pitches and trying to get back to his all star form. Nathan missed all of last season because of elbow surgery. In Capps first two save opportunities he was successful on both of them. This will be a situation to watch throughout the year.
