Watson struck out one and gave up two hits in an inning of work, including a game-tying two-run home run by Trey Mancini, to blow his fifth save of the season in Wednesday's 9-6 loss to the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

The left-hander's timing was poor given the increasing noise in Pittsburgh about Felipe Rivero receiving a shot at the closer role. Watson now has a 4.44 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and career-worst 2.1 HR/9 through 26.1 innings this season, and is just 15-for-25 in converting saves over the last two years.
