MILWAUKEE — Rockies manager Bud Black is standing shoulder-to-shoulder with closer Wade Davis.
The day after Davis blew saves in consecutive games, Black backed up Davis with confident words, as well as some select statistics. Black reiterated that he has no plans to remove Davis as the team’s closer.
“I’m going to defend Wade Davis,” Black said Saturday afternoon before the Rockies played the Brewers at Miller Park. “This season is not going to depend on just the bullpen, or the lineup or the starting rotation. I can’t remember which player said it best last night, in a quote.
