Okert blew his first save opportunity Tuesday, serving up a three-run homer to Ryan Schimpf in a 6-4 loss to the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Bruce Bochy called upon the young lefty to get the final out in the ninth inning after Hunter Strickland struggled to get San Diego batters out. That turned out to be a poor decision as Schimpf smashed Okert's fourth pitch over Triple's Alley at AT&T Park. The Giants and their bullpen continue to struggle to close out games in the second half of the season. This is likely the last time we see Okert attempt to close a game in 2016 with Bochy having several other lefties at his disposal.
