David Robertson Blows First Save As A Marlin Tuesday
1 year agoMiami Marlins closer David Robertson blew his first save as a Marlin and fourth of the season in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Phillies. Robertson came in to pitch the top of the ninth inning up by one. He allowed a leadoff walk, got the first out on a strikeout, allowed a game-tying double, and allowed the go-ahead, two-run home run before getting the final two outs on flyouts. Despite this slip-up, Robertson has been a consistent fantasy option all season long for the Mets and Marlins, converting 15 of 19 save opportunities with a 2.54 ERA. Both of his appearances with the Marlins have been save opportunities, so it appears that he should continue to serve as a reliable closer for fantasy managers.
