Glen Perkins tossed two scoreless innings of relief in Minnesota’s 5-4, 15-inning victory against the Brewers on Sunday.
After Nick Blackburn allowed four runs over six innings, Minnesota’s bullpen — generally regarded as one of the game’s least talented — hurled nine shutout innings to salvage the win. Perkins only has fantasy worth in formats that count holds, but he has continued to establish himself as a valuable setup man this year, posting a 3.14 ERA and 1.34 WHIP. If Matt Capps is dealt at the trade deadline, as many expect, Perkins is likely to become Minnesota’s closer.
