Cody Allen Gets Credit for a Win on Monday
7 years agoCleveland Indians closer Cody Allen picked up a win on Monday, tossing 1 1/3 innings while allowing one run on two hits and two walks. Allen came in to get the last two outs in the bottom of the eighth inning and got the first two outs of the ninth as well. With his pitch count at 41, manager Terry Francona decided to pull his closer and brought in lefty Jeff Beliveau to get the last out and the save. Allen has struggled a bit of late, but it doesn't seem like much to be concerned about just yet. Fantasy owners should keep an eye on him, since he can be a streaky pitcher, but for now it just looks like a minor blip.
