Zack Britton Blows Save Thursday
3 years agoNew York Yankees relief pitcher Zack Britton was charged with the loss and a blown save Thursday against the White Sox. Britton entered the game after the Yankees rallied to take the lead late, though he couldn't shut the door on Chicago, serving up a walk-off homer to Tim Anderson. The lefty has struggled this year, as evidenced by his unsightly 6.32 ERA and 1.66 WHIP. He had been pitching better in August heading into the contest, picking up a save and two holds, but performances like these likely make fantasy managers think twice about rostering him. Britton's track record as a heavy groundball pitcher lends hope that he can turn things around, though managers in the thick of the playoff race can't afford to wait around and see.
