Saving Grace(s): The River Cats bullpen is a perfect four-for-four in save opportunities so far this season... manager Darren Bush has called on four different relievers to close games...rhp Merkin Valdez, RHP Neil Wagner, RHP Jim Miller and RHP Evan Scribner are all one-for-one in save opportunities...the quartet has combined for 242 minor league saves...scribner (60), Wagner (45) and Valdez (15) have combined for 120 saves...
