Sam Coonrod Takes Loss With Three-Run Eighth Inning Wednesday
4 years agoPhiladelphia Phillies relief pitcher Sam Coonrod allowed three runs to the Marlins to take the loss Wednesday. Tasked with protecting a one-run lead, Coonrod allowed three hits and a walk to blow his third save this season. Despite the bad outing, Coonrod is sporting a respectable 2.86 ERA with 23 strikeouts in 22 innings this season. Things change fast in the bullpen, however, and with Archie Bradley and Jose Alvarado both healthy again there's no guarantee Coonrod keeps his eighth-inning role. Hector Neris has been solid as the closer in Philly and is not in danger of losing the ninth-inning role so Coonrod can be left on waivers in fantasy.
