Rockies reliever Rafael Betancourt continues to struggle at AT&T Park

The Giants have come up with a lot of big hits in a lot of big situations against one of the best relievers of the past decade.

Rafael Betancourt statistically is one of the best relievers in Major League Baseball over the past decade.

No, really -- he is. Since arriving in the majors in 2003, Betancourt ranks highly in many categories among relievers with at least 500 innings during that time. He has the third-lowest walk rate, third-best K-BB percentage, fifth-highest WAR -- you get the picture. Betancourt has made a living off of making hitters look bad, and he's done it for a lot of years in a lot of places.
