Lou Trivino Earns Five-Out Save Tuesday
2 years agoNew York Yankees relief pitcher Lou Trivino picked up his 11th save of the season in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jays. Trivino entered the game up by three with one out in the eighth inning and runners on first and second. He got George Springer to ground into a double play and stayed on to pitch the ninth. He got the first two hitters out on a strikeout and a groundout, allowed a single, and got the final out on another groundout. Manager Aaron Boone recently stated that the Yankees will use a committee for save situations for the rest of the season. Trivino does have closer experience, but the lack of a clear role and his 4.61 ERA makes him untrustable this late in the season.
