Two days after blowing a save, Felipe Rivero gets a Powerade bath
It’s not every day that a closer gets a Powerade bath. Then again, it’s pretty rare for Felipe Rivero to blow a save.
Two days after blowing a save against the San Diego Padres, a game the Pirates won anyway, Rivero pitched a neat ninth inning to seal the Pirates’ 6-3 victory over the Detroit Tigers at PNC Park. Rivero’s reward was a nice, cold, yellow Powerade bath.
