Jordan Romano is craving saves as he passes some of the Blue Jays' best closers

Jordan Romano, adrenalin junkie, is climbing up a couple of all-time lists. With a perfect ninth inning Sunday, the 30-year-old notched his 101st career save, moving out of a tie with Billy Koch and into fourth place alone in the Blue Jays' record books. Having collected 36 saves in each of the last two years, Romano needs similar production for three more seasons to move to the top. “Just being in that conversation, I'm pretty grateful for that,” the Markham, Ont., native said prior to the Jays' 6-5 win over Kansas City on Monday.
