Giants Reliever Tyler Rogers Could Be Used In Save Situations
According to the San Francisco Chronicle’s Susan Slusser, Tyler Rogers could be called upon in the ninth inning during save situations.
Kapler says Rogers might be in the mix more for ninth inning.
This news comes after the current Giants closer, Jake McGee, allowed four runs in the seventh inning of the second game of their doubleheader with the Rockies on Tuesday. Rogers actually handed McGee a 6-2 lead after working a clean inning in the sixth to reduce his ERA to 1.02 on the season. McGee’s outing was the fifth time in his last six appearances that he allowed at least one run. He’s seen his ERA balloon to 5.54 on the season.
