Emilio Pagan Blows Eighth-Inning Lead Thursday
2 years agoMinnesota Twins right-hander Emilio Pagan appeared in the eighth inning of Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Detroit Tigers. He entered with a 2-1 lead but allowed a one-out single followed by a two-run home run to Daz Cameron. Pagan has solid numbers still, sporting a 3.00 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, and 22 strikeouts over 18 innings. The former Padre has been treated as the closer, for the most part, this season, picking up seven saves. It might scare fantasy managers that manager Rocco Baldelli didn't preserve Pagan for the ninth. However, he hasn't run into too much trouble in his past few outings, so he should continue finishing games for now.
