Keone Kela Implodes Tuesday
7 years agoTexas Rangers relief pitcher Keone Kela had a disastrous outing Tuesday. Coming in with the Rangers ahead by four, Kela gave up four runs to surrender the lead. This will not count as a blown save on the stat sheet, but for the Rangers it will feel like one. This is Kela's second rough outing in two weeks, but in between the two he has been impressive. In his previous four outings, Kela has four saves with five strikeouts in 3 1/3 innings. The lack of other options in that bullpen right now means Kela will likely keep the closer job at the moment. However, it will not take many more outings like this before the Rangers begin to look elsewhere.
