Lucas Gilbreath Allows A Run As Opener
3 years agoColorado Rockies relief pitcher Lucas Gilbreath took a no-decision on Wednesday when he allowed one run on two hits with two walks over one inning in an 8-7 loss to the Angels. Gilbreath served as the opener on Wednesday and was making his first start of the season. Things did not go well as he coughed up two hits and walked two batters while allowing Jose Iglesias to knock in a run. Four of the five relievers that the Rockies used ended up giving up runs so the bullpen strategy did not end up working out. Gilbreath will return to the pen and carry an ugly 6.41 ERA, 1.68 WHIP, and 19:13 K/BB ratio with him.
