Strop was charged with a blown save after giving up a run in the eighth inning during the second game of Saturday's doubleheader.

After recording the save Thursday, Strop entered in the seventh inning, walking one but getting a strikeout to get out of a jam. He faltered in the eighth, though, despite retiring the first two batters, as he allowed a single and a walk before a Yairo Munoz double tied the game up. It's notable that he was used before the ninth inning in a tight spot, which signals that for however long Brandon Morrow (biceps) is sidelined -- which isn't expected to be longer than another week or so -- the Cubs will use a closer committee that probably involves Strop, Steve Cishek and Carl Edwards.
