Joakim Soria has saved 32 games in 34 attempts this season.
25 of those have come in a row, which happens to be a Royals record.
“He’s as cool and calm as they get,” said catcher Jason Kendall, who made things tougher by dropping a foul pop for an error in the ninth inning. “He’s got something special. It’s his mentality. You can’t get rattled (as a closer), and he never is.”
He breaks Jeff Montgomery's record of 24 in a row set 17 years ago.
