| Rafael Soriano can't hang on to late lead |
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com (5/18/13) Nationals pitcher Rafael Soriano was unable to hang on to a late lead as he blew his second save of the season Friday night against the Padres.
Soriano, who entered the game in the ninth with a two-run lead, surrendered a run-scoring single to Chase Headley and a run-single to Kyle Blanks that tied the game. Soriano, who also picked up the win, has allowed three runs and six hits over his last three innings of relief.

| Rafael Soriano unable to preserve tie |
by Bill Passonno | CBSSports.com (5/12/13) Nationals pitcher Rafael Soriano (0-1) permitted two hits and the game-winning run in the ninth inning of a 2-1 loss to the Cubs Sunday. It was the first time Washington has lost a game Soriano has appeared in this season. The deciding run scored on a throwing error by catcher Kurt Suzuki.
Soriano had not allowed a run since April 9, a span of 12 games, and has a 2.12 ERA.

| Rafael Soriano continues to dominate |
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com (5/8/13) Nationals closer Rafael Soriano threw his 11th consecutive scoreless inning Wednesday, picking up his 11th save of the year in his team's 3-1 win over the Tigers. Since posting two straight two-run appearances in early April, Soriano has lowered his ERA to 2.40 and his WHIP to 0.87 this season.

| Rafael Soriano picks up 10th save |
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com (5/4/13) Nationals closer Rafael Soriano entered Saturday's contest against the Pirates in the ninth inning with a one-run advantage.
The right-hander only needed 12 pitches, despite allowing a single to Russell Martin, to make it out of the frame unscathed. Soriano struck out one and secured his 10th save in a 5-4 victory.
Soriano has struck out eight and has not allowed a run in his last nine innings. He has a 2.77 ERA and a 0.92 WHIP through his first 13 appearances.

| Rafael Soriano notches seventh straight save |
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com (5/2/13) Nationals closer Rafael Soriano continued his strong rebound from a poor start to the season, picking up his seventh save in a row Thursday against the Braves.
Soriano allowed a two-out single to Evan Gattis but quickly ended the threat with the tying run at the plate, as Dan Uggla popped out to second base. He needed 18 pitches to finish the outing, picking up his ninth save of the season in a 3-1 win.
Soriano has 11 strikeouts in 12 innings, with eight hits and three walks. He has blown just one save in 10 opportunities and has not allowed a run in his last eight appearances.

| Rafael Soriano began 2012 much differently than how he ended the season. Coming in, he was trying to erase memories of a 4.12 ERA in an injury-marred 2011. But after Mariano Rivera's knee injury -- and David Robertson's oblique strain shortly thereafter -- Soriano grabbed the reins of the closer role and never let go. He saved 42 games despite not getting his first save until May 10. He finished the year with a 2.26 ERA and 1.17 WHIP. He struck out more than a batter per inning. In short, he re-established himself as a dominant closer, something the baseball world seemed to forget, despite his 45 saves in 2010 with the Rays. In middle relief, Soriano is solid. As a closer, he brings his game up a notch and is as reliable as almost any in the game. At 33, he's technically past his prime, but closers tend to stick around a little longer and defy most age rules. If he lands as a closer somewhere, Soriano can be counted on for 40 saves, a strikeout per inning and a sub-3.00 ERA. He will likely be drafted in the middle rounds. (Updated 12/5/12) |
