The number of baserunners allowed by closer Joakim Soria in a perfect ninth inning. It will be interesting to see if Soria is afforded any closing opportunities once Joe Nathan returns. Additionally, it will be curious to see, assuming Nathan closes games again, how long of a leash Nathan is afforded given Soria’s success finishing games this season.
