Brian Fuentes, having blown four saves in a row, has temporarily lost his role as the Rockies' closer. Manager Clint Hurdle said this afternoon that he's giving Fuentes a break in hopes that Fuentes can regain his all-star form. "We are going to keep him in the bullpen, but take him out of the role of closing," Hurdle said. "We just want to try and get him out of the spotlight a little bit and off the burner. We want him to reacquire his weapons and then get him back involved." Fuentes declined to talk about the situation.
