Texas Rangers closer Akinori Otsuka pitched a scoreless ninth inning in a 7-5 win over the Tampa Bay Devil Rays on Tuesday to pick up the save for the third straight game.
Seattle Mariners outfielder Ichiro Suzuki rounds the bases after hitting a triple to left-center field during the first inning of Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Twins.
Otsuka, the seventh Rangers pitcher in the game at Tropicana Field, allowed a leadoff single to Damon Hollins but struck out Greg Norton and got Sean Burroughs to ground into a game-ending 4-6-3 double play.
The right-hander earned his third save in as many chances since taking over the closer's role from Francisco Cordero last April. He has gone 7-1/3 innings without giving up a run in eight consecutive outings.
