Eric Gagne was a former closer for only two days. Manager Ned Yost suddenly scrapped his closer-by-committee approach and turned to Gagne with the game on the line for the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday night. ``I just think that he just needed a day to get away from closing,'' Yost said, ``and that day was (Monday).'' Gagne earned his 10th save in 15 opportunities, helping the Brewers beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-3. ``It feels good,'' Gagne said. ``A little relief, you know?'' Gagne was yanked from |

| (Best E Casino) - From the "what took you so long department", comes the news that Milwaukee Brewers manager Ned Yost has removed Eric Gagne from his closer's duties and will go by a closer-by-committee for now. "It's not ideal," Yost said. "I don't want to do this for a whole long time. I believe in set roles in a bullpen, but sometimes to get some guys over the hump, to get guys to where they need to be, you need to do this."
