Mets manager Terry Collins said Sunday that pitcher Jeurys Familia will remain the closer at least initially when Bobby Parnell and Vic Black return from the disabled list due to his recent success, ESPN New York reports.
Familia has racked up saves in each of his last five appearances while allowing one earned run on one hit and one walk and striking out six batters in 4 2/3 innings. He's posted a 2.70 ERA in 6 2/3 innings over the entire season while striking out nine and walking one.
