Lou Trivino Stats

Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Lou Trivino picked up the final four outs on Friday night to nail down the save against the Astros. Trivino allowed a hit and a walk, but also picked up a strikeout to earns his 22nd save. Trivino spent most of the season as the A's closer, but ran into a rough stretch in September and was removed from the role in favor of Andrew Chafin. This outing should ensure Trivino gets the next save chance if Oakland can earn one in the last two games of the season.

Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Lou Trivino was efficient on Sunday as he needed just 14 pitches to record five outs and earn the win in relief. Trivino was summoned in the ninth inning after Sergio Romo blew a two-run lead, in part thanks to some shoddy defense by Oakland. Trivino escaped the ninth and worked a clean 10th inning, picking up two strikeouts along the way. The A's bullpen has been a mess with the lefty Andrew Chafin and the righty Romo swapping save chances with Trivino seemingly out of the closer mix despite holding down the job most of the season. Perhaps this outing will get Trivino back in the good graces of manager Bob Melvin, but fantasy managers desperate for saves should still prioritize Chafin in the Oakland 'pen.

Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Lou Trivino (back) allowed four earned runs in only 2/3 of an inning pitched in his return to action on Friday in Toronto. Trivino had missed a few games with back spasms, but never landed on the injured list. The A's closer missed three save chances while away, with Sergio Romo picking up two saves and Andrew Chafin getting one. Trivino didn't do much to get his job back in this one as he allowed a hit and two walks, including a walk with the bases loaded. The good news for Trivino's fantasy managers is Romo blew the save in this one, so who knows who will get the next save chance for the freefalling Athletics. Don't rage-drop Trivino after this matchup, though he can be dropped if Romo (or someone else) gets the next A's save.
