RHP Jonathan Broxton has now retired all 10 batters he has faced over his past four appearances, striking out eight of them. He struck out the first six of those batters before Colorado's Ian Stewart flied to left for the final out in Wednesday's 1-0 victory and San Diego's Chase Headley also flied to left for the second out in the ninth inning on Friday night. Broxton leads all major-league relievers with 64 strikeouts.

Recommendation: Broxton is probably fine, but the toe is likely a factor in his recent performances.
