"Huston Street could live forever in 2009. He was Dennis Eckersley Lite, converting 35 saves, including 26 straight at one point. Over the last few weeks, he watched video of that season closely, dissecting his fastball as a finishing pitch. A two-strike, swing- and-miss heater has been absent much of the past two seasons.

Street made a case again Wednesday that it's back. With his velocity reaching 92 mph, the right-hander breezed to his 17th save by striking out Jason Bartlett.

"I went back and looked at my fastball, and how I used it. It's hard to describe because I didn't make a mechanical adjustment," Street said. "I just have that feel back. It's funny, you do it once, then you repeat it and wonder why you haven't been doing it that way all along.""
