Rafael Soriano News: Soriano came on to record his 38th save of the season in Wednesday's win over the Phillies.

Soriano came on to record his 38th save of the season in Wednesday's win over the Phillies.

Soriano has reeled off a streak of five consecutive scoreless innings after a string of poor outings in recent weeks led some to suggest he was losing his grip on the closing job. Though it seems he no longer possesses the strikeout stuff he demonstrated in previous seasons, he should remain a rather dependable option at the back end of the bullpen for the Nationals for the rest of the season.
