Sam Howard Makes Major League Debut
6 years agoColorado Rockies left-handed reliever Sam Howard got his first major league action on Sunday as he finished up a lame duck ninth inning while the team was trailing by six runs. Howard was a mediocre starter at Triple-A Albuquerque, racking up a 4.68 ERA over nine starts there this season. He'd also only worked as a reliever twice in his entire professional career prior to Sunday's game, but with the Rockies bullpen being a complete dumpster fire, it appears they're going with an all-hands-on-deck approach. Though expected to compete as a starter, it could be an opportunity for Howard to find a major league role if he can succeed while he's up.
