Ayala earns save for O's: Baltimore turned to reliever Luis Ayala on Thursday when the game was on the line as closer Jim Johnson was unavailable. He issued one walk and allowed one hit during his inning of work, but preserved the 5-2 win for the Orioles. He threw 12 pitches to get the job done against the Blue Jays. (Updated 04/26/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Ayala has yet to allow a run over his nine innings this season, posting a 1-0 record. The team signed him in February to add depth in the bullpen. Fantasy owners shouldn't bank on Ayala getting too many save chances down the road, unless Johnson is out an extended period of time. For now he's just worth scouting. (Updated 04/26/2012).
