Wade Davis’ steep decline is a riddle the Rockies must solve

0

PHOENIX — The decline of Wade Davis is one of the most glaring flaws of the Rockies’ failed season. It’s also one of the most confounding.

The deposed closer wasn’t always razor-sharp last season, but he still managed to record a franchise-record 43 saves and help lead the Rockies into the postseason. But after giving up three critical runs in the Rockies’ 5-3 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday night, Davis’ ERA rose to 7.43, easily the worst of his career.

Before Tuesday night’s game, I asked Davis what’s going on.
