Jonathan Papelbon : September 2nd, 2008, 2:00 am est
News: Red Sox RP Jonathan Papelbon pitched a scoreless ninth inning during Monday's 7-4 win against the Orioles for his 35th save. Papelbon opened the inning with consecutive strikeouts, but allowed Kevin Millar and Jay Payton to reach on two-out singles before retiring Oscar Salazar on a grounder to second. He earned his first save since Tuesday.
Analysis: Papelbon has just five saves since Aug. 1, but has allowed just one unearned run since the All-Star break. He hasn't had many save opportunities in the second half as we would like, but the Red Sox continue to win games and Papelbon remains a must-start Fantasy closer
