Jose Alvarado Earns Sixth Save Wednesday
6 years agoTampa Bay Rays reliever Jose Alvarado came up clutch for the team Wednesday versus the Braves. Facing the potential tying run in the eighth inning, Alvarado was summoned from the bullpen like a concerned gamer summoning their best creature to turn the tide of a battle. He would respond by facing four batters to record four outs that earned him his sixth save of the season. The Rays are highly unlikely to make the playoffs and they are already giving younger players opportunities in several positions to build for the future. Romo is still listed as the closer and is the more desirable player at the moment though.
