Rafael Montero Pitches The Eighth Inning
4 years agoSeattle Mariners relief pitcher Rafael Montero pitched a scoreless eighth inning Sunday against the Houston Astros. With a 3.24 ERA and .84 WHIP, it's hard to say that Montero has performed particularly poorly thus far, but he has managed to blow three saves, and it seems that he has relinquished the closer job for the time being. Kendall Graveman has collected each of the last two saves, and has looked excellent through five appearances. Montero is a hold for now, but if Graveman continues to succeed Montero will eventually be droppable.
