Gregory Soto blows save chance Friday
by David Leisering | Pirates Correspondent | Sat, May 16th 12:48am EDT
Gregory Soto could not secure a three-run lead in the ninth inning on Friday as he allowed three runs - two earned - on two hits, two walks, and an error in a blown save against the Phillies.
Fantasy Impact:
Soto blew his second save chance of the year, dropping to 4-for-6 in save opportunities and has now allowed at least one run in back-to-back games after not being scored upon in seven straight dating back to April 22. Despite the rough outing, Soto is still 3-0 with a 2.42 ERA and a 26:9 K:BB ratio in 22.1 innings on the year. Dennis Santana suffered an even worse fate on Friday, so it appears that Soto's role as the Pirates' closer should remain intact.
