Lou Trivino Implodes In Five-Run Inning
4 years agoOakland Athletics relief pitcher Lou Trivino had an outing to forget on Wednesday as he let five runs cross the plate while only recording one out versus the Blue Jays. There was a two-week stretch where it looked like Trivino was the undisputed closer in Oakland, but those days seem to have passed. Jake Diekman and Yusmeiro Petit have the last two saves for the A's and Trivino was brought on in this game with the team trailing in the eighth. That was before all five runners he let on base came around to score which helped Toronto turn a close game into a laugher. It'll be tough to trust Trivino in lineups after this but he still has value in deeper leagues and should not be dropped yet while the Oakland bullpen is in flux.
