4 years agoPhiladelphia Phillies relief pitcher Brandon Workman allowed two runs (one earned) in an extra-innings loss to the Nationals on Tuesday. This game wasn't entirely on Workman, as Washington started the inning with a runner at second, but the former Red Sox reliever did retire just one of four batters faced. He has a brutal 6.72 ERA on the season and is walking batters at a 12.9 percent rate, which was his issue when Boston gave him a chance to close. Manager Joe Girardi has given three relievers save chances in the last week, and another Workman loss may take him out of the mix for the last four games. At this point, he may do more damage to your ERA and WHIP than he's worth for the possibility of picking up a save.--Mike Schwarzenbach - RotoBaller
