HOLLY GETTING A REST--Greg Holland has had the last five days off to rest a tight triceps, but the KC closer still ranks second in the A.L. with 42 saves...he is the first to record back-to-back 40-save seasons for KC since Dan Quisenberry did it in 1983 (45) and ‘84 (44)...Holly has made good of 42 of his 44 tries this year, including 35 of the last 36 and 16 in a row...over a longer haul, Holland has converted 82 of his last 85 attempts (96.5%) since May 30 of last season, the highest percentage among closers with at least 40 opportunities in that span...since that date, Greg has five more saves than any other pitcher in baseball (Craig Kimbrel - 77) and has allowed just 14 earned runs in 107.1 innings for a 1.17 ERA...he recorded his 100th career save on August 8 and since posting his first career save on August 3, 2011 vs. Baltimore, Holland has gone 109-for-119, the best save pct. at 91.6 among closers with at least 100 save opportunities...since becoming Kansas City’s full-time closer on August 1, 2012, Holland has gone 105-for-112 in save situations, the most saves in the majors while Holly’s 93.8 save pct. is the best among relievers with at least 80 save chances.
