After a duel with Ken Giles for the closer title, he lost, becoming the set-up man to Giles, occasionally ending games. All in all, Gregerson provided some solid performances, and some ill-timed meltdowns for the Houston Astros in 2016.
The 2016 Campaign
From a statistical standpoint, Gregerson did not stray far from the numbers he produced in 2015. In fact, Gregerson allowed a lower batting average (.183) than he allowed in 2015 (.213). He allowed the same amount of earned runs (21) as he did in 2015, and only lost one more save opportunity than he did last year.
