Hoover was charged with a blown save in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Pirates in 14 innings after giving up a run in the bottom of the 11th inning.
EDGE Analysis
With the Diamondbacks taking the lead in top of the 11th on Nick Ahmed's solo home run, Hoover was in position for what would have been his first save of the season, but couldn't close the door. He struck out the first two batters of the inning before surrendering a game-tying solo shot to Jordy Mercer, which was the third home run Hoover has given up this season. During his previous stint with the Reds, Hoover was routinely troubled by the long ball, and his proclivity for giving up hard contact could ultimately lead manager Torey Lovullo to turn to Archie Bradley if closer Fernando Rodney -- who also blew a save earlier in the contest -- is eventually cast out of the ninth-inning role.
