Ottavino (3-1) was tagged with the loss Tuesday, allowing a run on one hits and three walks while striking out two over 1.2 innings against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Ottavino inherited a one run lead and a bases-loaded, one-out jam when he came on in the seventh and allowed just one to score, but then found himself in more trouble in the eighth. After a strikeout to start the frame, the 32-year-old allowed a single and three walks (one intentional) to allow the winning run to come home. This is likely just a blip on the radar, as Ottavino has been terrific this season allowing an earned run in just three of 33 outings en route to a 1.00 ERA and 56:14 K:BB over 36 innings.
