Romo picks up win for Giants: San Francisco reliever Sergio Romo earned his first win of the season on Friday night against New York. He struck out one batter and allowed two hits over his 2/3 of an inning, but managed to pick up the win. The Giants would go on to win the game, 4-3, in 10 innings. (Updated 04/21/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Manager Bruce Bochy used all three of his relievers deemed to be in the mix for saves on Friday night, but none of them got the save. Romo did get the win and has not allowed a run. Santiago Casilla and Javier Lopez are also in the mix for saves, so Fantasy owners should continue to view Romo as a low-end relief pitching option in deeper mixed leagues. (Updated 04/21/2012).

05/15/2012 01:37 Giants rally to win third straight
Buster Posey hit a go-ahead RBI single in the eighth inning, and the San Francisco Giants beat the Colorado Rockies 3-1 on Monday night to match their best winning streak of the season at three games.
Sergio Romo has been considered one of the most dominant relievers in the National League during recent years. Unfortunately for him, his teammate is Brian Wilson, who has recorded at least 36 saves in each of the past four seasons to solidify his status as one the majors' top closers. That leaves Romo as a setup man for the San Francisco Giants, a role he will continue to serve in this year after earning a $1 million raise to avoid salary arbitration in the offseason. The right-hander finished 3-1 with a 1.50 ERA in 65 appearances (48 innings) for the 2010 World Series champions. He had 70 strikeouts to just five walks as one of the most dependable members of San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy's bullpen. Romo also ranked sixth in the NL with 23 holds -- his second straight season with at least 20. He could receive some save opportunities if Wilson misses any playing time and should be viewed as a viable low-end option in deeper Fantasy formats. (Updated 2/12/12)
