Keep in mind, Texas was 27th out of 30 teams in Runs Lost in '07, with a total of 27 runs. AJ and OMAH! have been very good thus far, contributing 4 runs saved betwixt them.

 

Other notables: The Mariners outfield has saved 11 runs this season, just one behind the 12 runs saved by the Rangers and the 12 runs saved by the Angles in the outfield in Los Angeles.
