Matt Lindstrom notched his second relief victory in three days after John Baker hit a game-winning sac fly in the bottom of the ninth Monday against the Braves. Lindstrom pitched a scoreless top of the ninth in a 3-3 game before the Marlins won it in the bottom of the inning. He’s yet to get a save chance since Kevin Gregg went down, but the wins are more valuable anyway. (Rotoworld)

Matt Lindstrom was credited with a win after getting the final two outs in the top of the ninth Saturday against the Mets. The Marlins won it in the bottom of the inning. Lindstrom is the current favorite for saves in Florida with Kevin Gregg down. He’s had a couple of shaky appearances recently, but he’s sporting a 1.59 ERA since being recalled from the minors on July 5. (Rotoworld)

Marlins RP Matt Lindstrom allowed one hit and no runs in 1 1/3 innings in relief of Scott Olsen during Tuesday’s 4-1 loss to the Mets. Lindstrom struck out two. The Marlins optioned Lindstrom to the minors in late June when he posted a 0-1 record with a 16.62 ERA in 4 1/3 innings spanning six June outings. He returned in early July and has been nothing short of spectacular. He has not allowed a run in 11 outings spanning 11 1/3 innings. He also has 11 strikeouts in that span. The old Lindstrom is back and is once again a reliable Fantasy middle reliever. (CBS Sports)

Brandon Moss went 2-for-4 with two RBI as the Pirates fell to the Diamondbacks on Monday night. Moss had a two-run double to open a 3-0 lead Monday. The double gave the Pirates a double in each of their last 36 games. Since being acquired by the Pirates, he’s gone 4-for-12 with a homer, a double and two RBI. He should continue to see regular playing time in Pittsburgh’s outfield, and could prove a solid option in NL-only leagues this season. Moss is an outstanding addition in NL-only leagues at this point. There is pop in his bat and the rebuilding Pirates will give him a good long look down the stretch. (Rotoworld, CBS Sports)
