Eduard Bazardo

Andres Muñoz started the inning and recorded one out, but also gave up a solo home run and left the game with a trainer. Bazardo then issued a walk but recorded two strikeouts while throwing just 50 percent of his pitches for strikes and securing his first save of the season. It would likely be Seranthony Domínguez who closes if Muñoz misses time.

Bazardo didn’t even get an out before giving up Donovan Walton’s walkoff homer. He only had the 10th with a one-run lead tonight because Andrés Muñoz was unavailable after working the previous two days. Bazardo, who was outstanding last season and for the first three months of this year, has given up three homers and nine runs over 1 2/3 innings in his last four appearances. His ERA has jumped from 2.10 on July 10 to 2.97 on Aug. 29 and 4.04 now.
