Craig Kimbrel allowed two hits and a walk to allow the Brewers to turn a 4-3 deficit into a 5-4 victory in the 11th inning tonight, and Dodger fans are clamoring for change at the closer position in light of Kimbrel’s 4.57 ERA.
Nearly 2,000 votes in, the leader in a landslide is Evan Phillips, which isn’t surprising considering his outstanding 1.34 ERA. In reality, though, all four pitchers on the poll have been outstanding lately. Caleb Ferguson hasn’t allowed a run all season, Yency Almonte has a 1.15 ERA (but is currently on the injured list), and David Price has been almost unhittable the past two months.
