Scott Oberg Lit Up In Non-Save Situation
5 years agoColorado Rockies closer Scott Oberg did what most closers do when they are forced to pitch in a non-save situation. He got shelled. Oberg was called in on Friday to close out the game against the Padres while the Rockies were already trailing 3-1, and he promptly had his worst appearance all season. It was Oberg's first chance to pitch in nearly a week, and while save situation have been sparse while his team's been circling the drain, he had remained stalwart until now. Oberg allowed four earned runs on seven hits, punctuated by a pinch-hit three-run home run by Josh Naylor. Since this is truly a one-of-a-kind outing for Oberg this season, owners should relax and just live with it.
