Yesterday’s Performances
Matt Barnes took the loss for the Red Sox, just his second of the season. Barnes made quick work of the first two batters he faced, but allowed Manuel Margot to ultimately round the bases after a single, steal of second base, advancing to third on an errant throw by Christian Vazquez. Barnes then allowed Margot to score the walk-off run thanks to a wild pitch.
Both Jake Diekman and Lou Trivino pitched scoreless innings in non-save situations for the A’s on Thursday, with Diekman striking out the side in the eighth inning and Trivino pitching around one hit through the ninth.
With Lucas Sims hitting the injured list, the Reds turned to Amir Garrett, Tejay Antone, and Brad Brach to close out the final three innings of their victory over the Braves on Thursday. The trio pitched in that order, with Garrett and Antone collecting a hold and Brach recording his first save of the season. Though Garrett’s perfect seventh inning looks nice (no runs, two strikeouts), he was asked to take care of the bottom of the order, while Antone had Freddie Freeman leading off against him in the eighth.
James Karinchak picked up his ninth save of the year but uncharacteristically failed to record a strikeout through his one inning of work. Bryan Shaw pitched a perfect eighth inning on his way to his 11th hold of the season.
Ryan Tepera, Andrew Chafin, and Craig Kimbrel combined with starter Zach Davies to no-hit the Dodgers on Thursday. Unfortunately for the three relievers, the Cubs scored their fourth run of the game in the top of the seventh inning, putting the hold and save opportunities out of reach for the trio. Though none of them allowed a hit, each of them did allow a walk, while Kimbrel still managed to chip in three strikeouts for his fantasy teams.
