EDGE Analysis

The right-hander went into the outing with a seven-appearance scoreless streak in tow, but that fell apart when he surrendered a game-winning two-run home run to Clint Frazier in the bottom of the 11th after a shaky 10th frame when he'd navigated around two walks. Kittredge still hasn't been charged with more than one earned run in 19 appearances this season, however, and he sports an impressive 1.38 and 0.92 WHIP across 26 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Kittredge came on after starter Luis Patino was pulled following 82 pitches over 3.1 innings, and he served as a highly effective bridge to the middle frames.

EDGE Analysis

Kittredge has appeared in many different roles this season. He has served as an opener, middle-reliever, and closer this season. This was only his third save of his career. The Rays like to use many different relievers for saves throughout the season, but Kittredge is not likely to receive many closing opportunities given the extensive depth of the Rays' bullpen.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

Kittredge hasn't surpassed two innings or 26 pitches in any of his nine outings this season, so he shouldn't be expected to push far past those levels before giving way to Yarbrough. The 31-year-old right-hander has posted a 1.54 ERA and 0.77 WHIP across 11.2 innings in 2021.

Kittredge pitched a scoreless ninth inning, allowing one hit to get the save in the win Saturday against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

The versatile Kittredge's one hiccup was the second-inning solo home run he surrendered to Giancarlo Stanton, but he was other wise effective over a 21-pitch outing. The right-hander got 15 of his offerings into the strike zone, with six of those coming on swings and misses. Stanton's round tripper was the first run against Kittredge in four appearances, and only the second one he'd allowed all season over the seven innings covering his five trips to the mound.
