Alex Colome Earns Fourth Save Wednesday Versus Texas
7 years agoTampa Bay Rays closer Alex Colome earned his fourth save of the season Wednesday versus Texas. He allowed a run to continue his less than ideal start to the season that has included blown saves and multiple games where he earned the save but still gave up runs. Colome recorded an MLB-leading 47 saves in 2017, but his overall numbers elsewhere weren't as impressive as his 2016 campaign. His strikeout and walk rates both went in the wrong direction, and his ERA jumped up more than a full run to 3.24 from 1.90 in 2016. He still should be owned in all leagues where saves are a category. He saved 84 games between 2016-17 while only blowing nine chances.
