Jose Berrios Strikes Out Seven But Bullpen Fails Him Late In Loss
6 years agoMinnesota Twins starting pitcher Jose Berrios made his fantasy owners happy on Thursday against the Detroit Tigers, but ended up with another loss in the process. The right-hander threw six innings of one-run ball, striking out seven and allowing one walk. He managed to get out of a couple of jams, too, including a dire one in the bottom of the sixth inning. With runners on second and third and no outs, Berrios pitched his way out to conserve a 2-1 lead. Unfortunately, the Tigers took advantage of his exit — and Addison Reed — which ultimately led to a 5-2 loss for the Twins. Nonetheless, the 24-year-old Berrios is now coming off two consecutive quality starts, including an absolute gem against the White Sox on June 7. Sticking with Berrios after some early-season frustrations has definitely paid off for fantasy owners. With that said, the right-hander has a tough task ahead of him against the Red Sox next Tuesday.
