Lou Trivino Earns Relief Win Sunday Versus Angels
3 years agoOakland Athletics relief pitcher Lou Trivino was efficient on Sunday as he needed just 14 pitches to record five outs and earn the win in relief. Trivino was summoned in the ninth inning after Sergio Romo blew a two-run lead, in part thanks to some shoddy defense by Oakland. Trivino escaped the ninth and worked a clean 10th inning, picking up two strikeouts along the way. The A's bullpen has been a mess with the lefty Andrew Chafin and the righty Romo swapping save chances with Trivino seemingly out of the closer mix despite holding down the job most of the season. Perhaps this outing will get Trivino back in the good graces of manager Bob Melvin, but fantasy managers desperate for saves should still prioritize Chafin in the Oakland 'pen.
