In his first opportunity as the Royals' closer, Elmer Dessens blew the save by giving up three runs in 1/3 of an inning - the 8th inning!
He had followed Ambiorix, who gave-up 2 runs in two+ innings.
Pitching a meaningless 9th was Johnny Peralta, who also yielded a run.
There would be little shock if Mike Wood closed the next time.
This bullpen looks exactly like it did in 2004 when Tony Pena used everyone to save games - and caused wasted FAAB throughout fantasy baseball as teams scrambled to grab each pitcher who had one save followed by Pena statements saying that pitcher was the closer.
