Things are not going at all well for Evan Scribner these days.
The right-handed reliever began the season moving from middle relief to setup work because of a 1.10 ERA in his first 14 games. But as his roles became more significant, his success rate fell off and he lost the late inning work.
He was asked to soak up some innings after Scott Kazmir’s triceps injury forced him out of the game after three innings, and Scribner gave up two homers in relief for the second time in six days.
Scribner’s ERA has blown up to 4.
