RHP Joe Nathan has converted 33 of 36 career save opportunities against the Royals. Those 33 saves are the most for Nathan against any individual opponent. The closer could face the next team on that list, Detroit, this weekend, looking to add to his 27-for-27 mark against the Tigers.

Nathan pitched a scoreless ninth inning with two strikeouts to earn his 18th save in Friday's win over St. Louis. He's now converted his last 12 save chances.
Recommendation: Nathan made things more difficult for himself when he allowed a leadoff double and then had to face Albert Pujols with a two-run lead, but struck him out. He's walked just one batter in his last 15 appearances.
