Richard Lovelady Blows Saturday's Contest
1 year agoOakland Athletics reliever Richard Lovelady was the losing pitcher in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Houston Astros after allowing one run on a Yordan Alvarez solo shot in the eighth inning. He also struck out one without walking anyone over one inning, and the 27-year-old still has impressive numbers, as he's running a 2.13 ERA and 1.11 WHIP with 14 punchouts across 12.2 innings. The A's are thin in the bullpen, and with Zach Jackson (elbow) on the injured list, Lovelady is projected as one of the options for save situations, along with Garrett Acton, Sam Moll, and Austin Pruitt. Although saves will be at a premium in Oakland, fantasy managers in need of a closer should keep tabs on how this situation unfolds.
