7 years agoKansas City Royals relief pitcher Kelvin Herrera blew his first save of the season Tuesday. Herrera ended up taking the win but that will only offer a little satisfaction to him. Herrera surrendered his first home run of the season to Eduardo Nunez in the bottom of the 12th inning. That was also the first run that Herrera has given up in 2018, which demonstrates how impressive he has been up until now. In 10 2/3 innings, Herrera has five saves, 12 strikeouts and zero walks. This will not affect Herrera's role with the Royals, and he remains a top-15 closer going forward.--Ben Rolfe
