Jeffress came on in the 8th inning, and three runs scored after a couple of bloop base hits. But he got through the inning with the lead and most of us probably expected to see Jeffress back out for the ninth. But instead it was Corey Knebel.
Knebel had the closer’s job at the beginning of the year, but injured his hamstring in April, returned six weeks later, but he wasn’t really the same. He lost the job to Jeremy Jeffress and ended up getting demoted to Triple-A.
After returning from a short stint in Colorado Springs, Knebel has been lights out.
