2 years agoSan Diego Padres closer Taylor Rogers was charged with his second blown save in as many days on Wednesday when he failed to maintain a 3-2 ninth-inning lead against the Detroit Tigers. He gave up three hits and two earned runs while recording two outs. Tigers outfielder Victor Reyes drove in both runs on a walk-off double. Rogers is tied for first in the majors with 28 saves, but his seven blown saves lead the majors as well. If the Padres were to move on from Rogers, we'd likely see either Luis Garcia or Nick Martinez earn a shot at ninth-inning duties. Garcia has been the team's top setup man with 18 holds, while Martinez is second on the team in saves with four, and he hasn't blown any save opportunities this year. Having said all that, it's likely that Rogers will remain the team's primary closer, at least for now.--Andrew Ericksen - RotoBaller
