Colome gave up two hits in a scoreless ninth inning Wednesday to notch his second save of the season in a 4-1 win over the Yankees.
After saving 37 games last year, Colome has picked up right where he left off to begin 2017. The right-hander was the subject of trade rumors in the offseason, but unless Brad Boxberger (back) gets healthy, the Rays have no obvious successor to him in the closer role, which should give Colome plenty of job security -- especially if Tampa Bay can remain competitive in the AL East.
