Braves' Arodys Vizcaino: Loses game in ninth inning
Vizcaino was handed a loss Tuesday after entering a 2-2 ballgame in the ninth inning against the Indians and allowing three runs, though only one earned, on two walks, two hits, and a wild pitch.
Analysis:
Tuesday's loss was a rare poor outing for Vizcaino (1-3) who entered the day with a 1.93 ERA. Despite the loss, Vizcaino still boasts a 2.16 ERA and a blazing fastball, making him a name that comes up frequently as a possible trade candidate with the deadline just a month away. With just 12 save opportunities, Vizcaino has seen his share of non-save, late-game situations, and could see even more of those non-save situations should the Braves elect to trade him to a contender at the deadline.
