Heath Hembree Blows Up In The Ninth Inning
5 years agoBoston Red Sox relief pitcher Heath Hembree didn't record an out and allowed three runs to cross in the ninth inning of a 10-4 loss to Toronto on Tuesday. Three consecutive hits, including a triple and double doomed Hembree, who was trying to keep the Red Sox' deficit to two runs. This was a rough one for the 30-year-old after just coming off of three straight scoreless appearances, including a save on July 7. However, Hembree doesn't hold any fantasy value as Boston's bullpen is extremely volatile. Add in Nathan Eovaldi who is set to return from the injured list and jump right into the full-time closer role in the near future.
