Huston Street allowed a two-run home run but avoided further damage to earn his 14th save of the season against the Cubs on Sunday.

Street walked Anthony Rizzo with a three-run lead and Starlin Castro made him pay with a two-run home run, but the Cubs would get no closer. The homer was the second given up by Street on the year as all three of his runs allowed have come by way of the long ball. Speed bump aside, he's got a 1.42 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 22/6 K/BB ratio over 19 innings on the season.

Houston Street grabbed his 13th save of 2014 in the Padres' 8-5 win over the Rockies on Saturday.

Street struck out two of the three batters he faced in the bottom of the ninth inning and induced a shallow flyout from the other one. San Diego's closer has an exceptional 0.50 ERA on the season with 21 strikeouts and five walks in 18 innings. He's 13-for-13 in save chances.

Huston Street converted his 12th save of the season with a scoreless ninth inning against the Reds on Tuesday.

Street had a stress-free ninth inning, striking out two Reds in the process. His 12 saves are now tied for third-best in baseball and he has turned in 10 consecutive scoreless appearances. Street has a minuscule 0.53 ERA, 0.82 WHIP, and an impressive 19/5 K/BB ratio in 17 innings.

Street walked Giancarlo Stanton and Casey McGehee to load the bases with two outs, but he got Jeff Baker to ground out to end the game. Most of Street's saves have been less eventful, as he's got a 0.56 ERA and 0.88 WHIP through 16 innings. His 11 saves are third-most in the National League.

Huston Street struck out two over a 1-2-3 ninth inning to secure his 10th save as the Padres defeated the Giants 6-4 on Monday.

Street has been one of fantasy baseball's best closers in the season's opening month. Almost two weeks ago, Brandon Belt smacked a solo homer off Street. Outside of that, nobody has solved him. Street's 10 saves trail only Francisco Rodriguez's 12 for the MLB lead, and he's coughed up only one run in 11 frames (0.82 ERA). In addition, Street has collected a 0.73 WHIP and a 14/2 K/BB rate.

Huston Street tossed a scoreless 12th inning to nail down his eighth save as the Padres defeated the Nationals 4-3 on Thursday.

Street was immediately in some hot water, as Bryce Harper led off the 12th inning with a double, but the right-hander was able to get a strikeout and a line drive double play to end the game. Street is now tied for second in baseball with eight saves and has a tidy 1.00 ERA and 11 strikeouts in nine innings.

Huston Street worked a perfect 12th inning against the Brewers on Tuesday to earn his seventh save of the season.

Street allowed his first run of the season his last time out, but he was on point again Tuesday. The right-hander induced two ground outs before freezing Ryan Braun on a called strike three to end the game. Street is now 7-for-7 in save opportunities and has a 10/2 K/BB ratio over eight innings.

Huston Street gave up a solo homer to Brandon Belt in the ninth inning Friday, but he still nailed down his sixth save in six chances.

Huston Street locked down his fifth save of 2014 by striking out two over a scoreless ninth inning in Wednesday's 4-2 victory over Colorado.

Street, tied with Craig Kimbrel for the NL lead in saves, earned saves in both of San Diego's wins against his former team as the Padres took two of three. He's 5-for-5 in save conversions to go with a 6/1 K/BB rate, 0.00 ERA and 0.67 WHIP. If the signing of Joaquin Benoit was meant to send a message, it appears as though Street received it.

Huston Street collected his fourth save of the season by hurling a perfect ninth inning in San Diego's 5-4 victory over Colorado on Monday.

He struck out a batter and still only needed 10 pitches to shut off the lights against his former team. Halfway through the season's first month, Street has been one of the game's best fantasy closers. He's now 4-for-4 in save opportunities and hasn't allowed a run in five appearances, posting a 4/1 K/BB rate. Three of those four saves have been of the one-run-lead variety, which San Diego seems to specialize in producing.

Huston Street collected his third save of the season as the Padres beat the Indians 2-1 in the second half of Wednesday's doubleheader.

Street gave up a one-out single to Ryan Raburn and then issued a walk to Michael Brantley, but he danced around that threat of danger by retiring Yan Gomes and Asdrubal Cabrera for the final two outs of the game. Street is 3-for-3 in save opportunities this season with a 0.00 ERA.

Huston Street pitched a scoreless ninth inning against the Marlins to earn his second save of the season Sunday.

Street struck out one in his perfect inning of work. His strong start to the season paired with Joaquin Benoit coming out of the gate slowly should afford Street some leeway in his hold on the closer role should he stumble in the near future.

Huston Street slammed the door on the Dodgers in the ninth inning on Sunday, preserving a 3-1 victory in their season opener.

The veteran closer needed just 11 pitches to dispose of Andre Ethier, Juan Uribe and A.J. Ellis in order, including a strikeout. With free agent acquisition Joaquin Benoit joining the Padres bullpen, Street will have to pitch well in order to keep a stranglehold on the ninth inning role, but so far so good.

Huston Street (groin) will pitch in his first game of the spring on Saturday.

The Padres haven't determined whether it will be a Cactus League game or a minor league game. Street has been slowed by a minor groin ailment. He is expected to be ready for the start of the 2014 regular season and will open the year as San Diego's closer.

Huston Street (groin) could throw a bullpen session Saturday.

Street will do some long-tossing Friday before it's determined whether he's ready for mound work. The Padres insist that the closer's groin ailment is minor, so he should be ready for game action next week if he can avoid setbacks.

Huston Street (groin) played catch Wednesday.

There's still no timetable for Street's spring debut, but the injury doesn't appear serious. The team is just playing it safe with their closer. There's still no concern about his readiness for Opening Day, but the team has Joaquin Benoit as insurance in case Street doesn't progress as expected.

Huston Street will not pitch this week due to a slight groin pull.

The Padres don't consider the ailment serious, but they're playing it safe by pushing the reliever back. Considering Street's lengthy injury history, it's a wise move. Barring a setback, this won't be anything that will threaten the closer's availability for Opening Day.

Padres general manager Josh Byrnes said that while Huston Street remains the club's closer for 2014, the role for 2015 is "to be determined."

The team has a mutual option on Street for 2015 for a relatively reasonable $7 million. However, they also just signed Joaquin Benoit to a two-year, $14 million contract, a deal that also includes an $8 million option for 2016 that vests if he finishes 55 games in 2015. Obviously, the option has no chance of vesting unless Benoit is the closer throughout the 2015 campaign. "Street is still our closer," Byrnes said. "Huston has done it very well for a long time. Benoit has done it for four years. Huston is a pro. Nothing changes here. We do have a decision for 2015. Nothing is guaranteed for 2015."

The Padres aren't actively looking to move Huston Street in the wake of signing Joaquin Benoit, Corey Brock of MLB.com reports.

The Padres now have two pitchers who saved over 23 games last season, but the addition of Benoit doesn't necessarily spell the end of Street's time in San Diego. The 30-year-old had a 2.70 ERA and 1.02 WHIP in 56 2/3 innings this past season despite allowing 12 home runs. He'll likely enter spring as the team's closer, with Benoit serving in a setup role.

Huston Street will be away from the team for the next two games, as he returns to Texas to attend the funeral of his grandmother.

That makes Luke Gregerson the Padres primary ninth inning option for the first couple games of the week. For those speculating on saves, especially in daily formats, Gregerson looks like a very attractive option.
