For the major part of the 2019 season, Liam Hendriks and Yusmeiro Petit were the only reliable Oakland Athletics’ relievers.
Hendriks earned himself an all-star nod and the A’s closer spot in part because of a run of 19 consecutive scoreless appearances, stretching 20.2 innings pitched and flashed by 34 strikeouts and only three walks.
In total, Hendriks is 4-1 in 59.1 IP with a 1.67 ERA, 10 saves and 79 strikeouts.
Petit has quietly had his best season, appearing in a league-high 55 games and posting a 2.64 ERA and a 0.
