4 years agoColorado Rockies reliever Mychal Givens blew a save and took the loss in Sunday's Cactus League game vs. the Kansas City Royals. It was an ugly outing for Givens, who allowed two runs on two hits while walking three over just 2/3 innings. Givens entered the game in top of the sixth inning with the Rockies leading by a score of 2-1. He didn't even last an inning as he walked three batters and allowed a two-run shot to Adalberto Mondesi. He was credited with a blown save and ended up taking the loss. The 30-year-old RHP has had a rough Cactus League for the Rockies, posting a 8.53 ERA, 2.05 WHIP, and 7:6 K/BB ratio over 6 1/3 innings. We shouldn't read too much into spring numbers but it hasn't been pretty for Givens. With Scott Oberg likely done for the season, Givens has a chance to serve as the bridge to closer Daniel Bard. Even if he can earn a high-leverage role he's not a recommended fantasy option.--Jon Mathisen - RotoBaller
