It’s been a tale of two seasons for Roberto Osuna, who has been untouchable at times, and has looked lost on the mound at others. After making the All-Star team and being one of baseball’s best relievers in the first half, he’s been a totally different pitcher after the All-Star break, and currently leads all of baseball in blown saves.
However, baseball tends to be a game of “what have you done for me lately?”, and it’ll be important for the young closer to end the season on a positive note. One thing that doesn’t hurt at all is having Russell Martin back behind the plate, as he returned earlier this week from a lengthy stint on the disabled list.
