News: Brewers closer Salomon Torres allowed one hit in a scoreless ninth inning Thursday against the Pirates, sending the game to extra innings. He didn't record a save, obviously.

Analysis: Torres has struggled down the stretch, posting a 6.75 ERA and blowing one save in only two opportunities. He might be running out of steam, but these struggles might also convince the Brewers to look at other options in 2009. He remains a No. 2 Fantasy option for now, but don't draft him next year unless he retains the closer's role

Salomon Torres gave up four runs in the ninth Thursday against the Cubs to send the game into extra innings. Ryan Braun should have been charged with an error on Aramis Ramirez's rally-starting double, which would have meant that all four runs would have been unearned. Still, that's hardly an excuse for Torres, who went on to allow three more hits. The pitch he threw to Geovany Soto for a game-tying, three-run homer was particularly terrible. Torres has one blown save in two chances this month (this one doesn't count since he had a four-run lead) and he also took a loss after entering a tie game. He's one of the big reasons the Brewers were so well positioned entering September, but he's let the team down as much as anyone this month.

Adam McCalvy, of MLB.com, reports Milwaukee Brewers CL Salomon Torres has pitched in three straight games. Usually manager Ned Yost would be inclined to shut Torres down for the next two days, but Yost could still go to Torres in a save situation since the team is battling for a spot in the postseason.

Colin Fly, of The Associated Press, reports Milwaukee Brewers CL Salomon Torres recorded his 27th save in 34 chances Wednesday, Sept. 10.

Torres was in need of an outing like this one after entering the day with two losses and a 4.76 ERA for September. The veteran righty has enjoyed a solid overall year, but he could be back on thin ice if he suffers another lapse in the near future, as the Brewers are fighting for a playoff spot.

News: Brewers closer Salomon Torres blew his seventh save of the season but his third since Aug. 16 on Monday against the Reds. He allowed three runs on four hits and two walks in one inning, striking out one. "We're not automatic, unfortunately," said Torres, who had not given up more than two runs in a game all year before Monday night. "That's the way it is. I will be the first one to admit I picked the wrong time to give up three runs." Torres also suffered the loss, his second in three appearances.

Analysis: Torres has pitched like one of the best closers in Fantasy since taking over for Eric Gagne in April, but he is beginning to lose some of his luster with his struggles lately. Still, as a closer on a contender, he deserves to start as no less than a No. 2 Fantasy option
