Cubs' Pedro Strop: Nabs fifth save

Strop retired the Cardinals in order to earn the save Sunday.

Strop earned his third consecutive save since Brandon Morrow (biceps) hit the disabled list most recently. No other pitcher in the Cubs' bullpen has earned one, so it appears he is most likely to see the chances so long as Morrow is unavailable. Strop has been effective this season, posting a 2.51 ERA and 1.09 WHIP to go along with 41 strikeouts across 43 innings. However, he is only 5-for-8 in save chances, but two of those mistakes came in a setup capacity.
