Big league closers can come from all areas of the pitching world. Some are guys who have always been relievers, from college all the way up to the big leagues. Some were starters whose power stuff (and perhaps lack of command) were better suited for shorter stints coming out of

KANSAS CITY -- The Royals were one out away from another gritty comeback win on Tuesday night, one centered around the way the offense rallied for another big inning and the pitching coming through once again.
