Taylor Rogers Earns Shaky Save Tuesday
3 years agoSan Diego Padres closer Taylor Rogers didn't make things easy but did earn the save in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Cubs. Rogers entered the game to pitch the ninth inning with a two-run lead. He got the first two hitters out on a strikeout and groundout, but then allowed a single, hit a batter, allowed an RBI single, hit another batter to load the bases, and finally got a flyout to end the game. Despite the theatrics, Rogers has been a solid fantasy option since joining the Padres, converting 11 of 12 save opportunities with a 0.71 ERA and 13 strikeouts over 12 2/3 innings of work.
