Gregory Soto Blows Wednesday's Game
1 year agoPhiladelphia Phillies relief pitcher Gregory Soto was called upon to shut the door against the Miami Marlins on Wednesday. The Phillies bullpen completely imploded as they allowed three runs over the final two innings. Soto allowed Jorge Soler to blast a 404-foot home run to tie the game in the ninth inning. It sounds like Craig Kimbrel was unavailable after having pitched in two of the last three games. Soto also pitched on Tuesday, so it's unclear why the Phillies decided to hand the ball to him. Regardless, it didn't go well as his ERA climbed to 4.25 after that outing. The expectation is that Soto won't get many more save chances.
