Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Alex Colome pitched another scoreless frame in a losing effort to the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday. Colome entered the game in the top of the seventh inning- and worked through the heart of the White Sox order, striking out a batter in the process. The 32-year-old has now pitched 7 2/3 scoreless innings in a row, lowering his season ERA from 8.31 to 4.41. The lower leverage situations have seemingly gotten Colome's season back on track, so it wouldn't be ...

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Alex Colome picked up his second win of the season in a 5-4 defeat of the Athletics on Saturday. Colome entered the game in the eighth inning, pitching a scoreless frame with a strikeout, and was the pitcher of record when Miguel Sano swatted a three-run homer to give the Twins the lead. The veteran reliever has turned his season around in May, logging six scoreless innings with a 5:0 strikeout-to-walk ratio and a .105 batting average against. Colome seems like ...

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Alex Colome pitched a scoreless frame in a losing effort to the White Sox on Wednesday. Colome hasn't garnered a save chance since being demoted to lower leverage situations, though he has pitched quite nicely. He has yet to allow a run in five innings of work in May with a 4:2 strikeout-to-walk ratio. Colome has likely worked himself back into manager Rocco Baldelli's good graces, though it will still be interesting to see who he turns to in the next Twins' save ...

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Alex Colome turned in another effective outing despite his team's loss Wednesday. Colome tossed two scoreless frames, walking two batters and recording a pair of strikeouts. The veteran reliever has pitched three clean innings since being ousted from high-leverage situations- and could slowly be working his way back into those scenarios. If Taylor Rogers- who has faltered a bit lately- continues to struggle, Colome could wrench back some of the control over the ...

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Alex Colome struggled in his appearance on Tuesday. Just hours after manager Rocco Baldelli said he would look to get Colome in lower-leverage situations, the veteran reliever entered the game in the eighth inning with the Twins down one run. He allowed a pair of runs on three walks and a hit batsman while striking out a pair. It's fair to wonder whether Colome should have been in the game in that situation given his recent performances, though it's safe to say he...

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Alex Colome will be utilized in a lower-leverage role moving forward, per manager Rocco Baldelli. Colome has seen the majority of save chances for the Twins but has really struggled lately, blowing each of his last two opportunities and allowing a walk-off homer during Monday's game. Baldelli said that he spoke to Colome earlier about situations where the veteran reliever can come in as the team attempts to get him back on track. The former White Sox closer is ...

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Alex Colome was charged with his third loss of the season in Monday's 5-3 defeat at the hands of the Cleveland Indians. Colome came on in the ninth with the game tied and gave up a two-run shot to Jordan Luplow on a misplaced cutter to give Cleveland the victory. The veteran relief pitcher has now blown a save or taken the loss in three of his last four appearances and certainly isn't inspiring much confidence in manager Rocco Baldelli that he can hold down the ...

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Alex Colome had a disastrous outing in Wednesday's tough 13-12 loss to Oakland. Colome came on in the ninth with a chance to lock down a save- but blew it after hitting a batter, allowing a single, and then surrendering a sacrifice fly to tie the game at 10. He got a second chance in the 10th inning with a two-run lead- and it initially looked promising, as he got two quick outs, though he promptly allowed back-to-back walks and was then done in by two errors on ...

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Alex Colome was saddled with the loss on Sunday against the Mariners. Colome came on in the ninth inning with a one-run lead looking to pick up his third save of the season but wound up registering his second blown save of the year. The 32-year-old was bound to see some regression in the ERA department, though his current struggles can't be too reassuring to manager Rocco Baldelli when he calls his name to lock down the ninth inning. Fellow relievers Taylor ...

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Alex Colome notched his second save of the season in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Tigers. Colome worked two innings, allowing one hit while striking out three batters. Aside from his blown save, the 32-year-old has been excellent, as he has yet to allow an earned run- three unearned- in four innings of work this season. It's an encouraging sign for Colome's fantasy value that he has been on the mound for all three of the Twins' traditional save chances to start ...
