Aroldis Chapman Blows Save, Takes Loss Thursday
3 years agoNew York Yankees relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman blew his second save of the season in Thursday's loss to the Minnesota Twins. Chapman entered the game with a two-run lead, though it quickly evaporated after a leadoff single to Jorge Polanco and a home run to Josh Donaldson. He then surrendered another base hit before allowing the game-winning homer to Nelson Cruz. The four earned runs allowed were by far the most the lefty has allowed in a game this year, though these types of down performances have been few and far between for him this season. Chapman will remain one of the top closers in fantasy baseball, though his exit velocity and hard-hit rate metrics are worth monitoring.
