Rivera shows minor cracks
Mariano Rivera has certainly been less than his usual perfect in the last two outings.
Rivera blew the save against the Orioles on Sunday when he gave up a home run to Luke Scott that tied the game in the ninth. Baltimore won it in extra innings.
Last night, Rivera allowed a run on two hits against Tampa Bay in the ninth but did earn his 32nd save.
There is no reason to panic. Rivera's earned run average is 1.58.
