Until Kevin Gregg allowed two hits with two outs in the ninth on Saturday, the bullpen pitchers had not even allowed a hit since Wednesday.

Jim Johnson has been scored on just once over his last 11 outings for an ERA of 1.59 over his past 17 innings.

Pedro Strop has not been scored on in four games and 4 1/3 since joining the team and Zach Phillips has pitched four scoreless innings over five appearances since his August 31st callup.

Chris Jakubauskas has pitched to an ERA of 2.19 since July 27. Willie Eyre has not been scored on over his last three games and 3 1/3 innings.

Troy Patton has put together four straight shutout outings, covering six innings while allowing just one hit as he has lowered his ERA on the year to 3.33.
