Hector Rondon has had his issues lately and they’ve not gone unnoticed. Four of his last seven appearances resulted in either a loss or a blown save. The other three were holds. His performance against the Angels was one where he left to many pitches over fat part of the plate. High enough for just about any major league player to take advantage.
Rondon is a veteran pitcher and before being replaced by Aroldis Chapman when he was the Cubs go-to closer. When we are just before the mid-point of the season, and Ken Giles had began to meltdown, Rondon took over the closer role for the Astros.
