Jeffress was stuck with his first blown save of the year Wednesday against the Brewers after allowing a run to come around on a hit, a walk and a hit batsman in the ninth inning.
EDGE Analysis
With the Brewers nursing a one-run lead, Jeffress came in for the save and promptly hit Anthony Rizzo, then gave up a single and a groundout to put runners at second and third for Addison Russell, who knocked in the tying run with a grounder of his own. Jeffress did, however, work his way out of further damage. Considering he's given up runs in just three of his 19 outings this year, we'll spot him a bad night. That said, Jeffress has a weak strikeout rate (just 12 in 18 innings) that may put him at risk of losing his job in the longer run.
