You must be aggregating the data.

Closer's normally only will pitch the last inning (or two) of a game. Check out his salary to determine if he is being abused :)

Keep in mind that finishing a game can take as few as 1 pitch. A pitcher can be subbed in as late as the last batter (depending on what year we're talking about and how many batters the previous pitcher has faced).
