Mychal Givens Stats

Chicago Cubs reliever Mychal Givens notched his first save of the season on Thursday as his club defeated the Rockies 5-2. The right-hander worked around a one-out single as he struck out a pair in the 17-pitch frame, throwing 12 of his pitches for strikes. Givens has now picked up a win, a hold, and a save in four outings this season with one run allowed and seven punch outs in 3 1/3 IP. David Robertson has picked up the only other save chances for the Cubs bullpen this year, but Givens could cut into more of his work if he can keep up the strong results.

The Chicago Cubs and reliever Mychal Givens have agreed to a one-year deal worth $5 million, according to Jesse Rogers. Givens should help a Cubs' bullpen that posted a4.31 ERA in 2021. Givens posted a 2.73 ERA over 29 1/3 innings pitched while striking out 34 batters in 2021 with the Colorado Rockies. This appears to be a get-right contract for Givens who missed significant time in 2021 with a lower back strain. Givens has closer experience and could also fill this role for the Cubs as it is one of their current needs.

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Mychal Givens allowed three runs in two-thirds of an inning in an 8-7 win over the Washington Nationals on Friday. Givens allowed three hits, walked two and struck out one on the way to being charged with his third blown save of the season. The veteran reliever was called upon to protect a 7-4 lead in the ninth inning but gave up two doubles and a single in the outing. Givens now has a 3-3 record, 3.12 ERA, 1.39 WHIP, eight saves and 53 strikeouts over 49 innings of work. His role as the team's primary closer should be safe for now, although Michael Lorenzen could start to cut into his save chances if his struggles continue.
