May 10 Papelbon blew his second straight save chance on Friday, giving up a two-run single in the ninth inning of a 7-6 Red Sox loss at Minnesota.

Advice: Papelbon, who has 82 saves and a World Series ring since the start of 2006, has not been very sharp this week. He gave up two unearned runs in a loss at Detroit on Wednesday. "It's frustrating as (heck) right now, just because the simple fact is I'm throwing good pitches," Papelbon said. "I'm just not finishing them right now and executing them all the way through the strike zone." He is 2-2 with 10 saves in 12 chances and a 2.55 ERA in 17 games.

May 10 Papelbon bounced back from a blown save on Friday by collecting his 11th save, giving up only one hit in the ninth against the Twins on Saturday night.

Recommendation: Papelbon is one of the best and it's a great sign to see him bounce back.

May 10 RHP Jonathan Papelbon has blown two saves in as many evenings after executing a perfect 10-for-10 save record coming out of the starting gate, and allowed a run for only the fourth time in 17 outings this season. The 27-year-old closer also saw his ERA skyrocket all the way up to 2.55 after his second loss of the season, but was looking to turn things around afterward. "It's frustrating as hell right now, just because the simple fact is I'm throwing good pitches. I'm just not finishing them right now and executing them all the way through the strike zone," said Papelbon to reporters. Yahoo! Sports
