Connor Brogdon Tosses Scoreless Frame To Run Shutout Streak To 13 Innings
4 years agoPhiladelphia Phillies relief pitcher Connor Brogdon pitched a scoreless sixth inning against the Braves on Sunday to extend his scoreless inning streak to 13, dating back to last season. The 26-year-old righty pitched 8 2/3 scoreless innings in his second stint with the team last year and has now tossed 4 2/3 shutout frames to begin 2021. Manager Joe Girardi has gradually inserted Brogdon into higher leverage situations and that trend should continue with Archie Bradley (oblique) on the IL. Brogdon won't get save chances with Hector Neris and Jose Alvarado around, but managers in leagues that reward holds or those looking for ratio help in deeper roto leagues should consider adding Brogdon.
