Up by a single run in the 9th after a pitching duel between Braves starter Max Fried and Mariners righty Bryce Miller, Atlanta went to A.J. Minter to get the final three outs and start the road trip with a victory. Instead, a Jorge Polanco leadoff single and a Mitch Garver homerAnd the usage of Minter has had people asking why Raisel Iglesias , the team’s primary closer, wasn’t the choice to get the final three outs and seal the ballgame.
And there’s a reason why Atlanta didn’t want to use Iglesias for a third straight day: He isn’t very good in those situations. It’s not a guarantee that Iglesias, coming off of 27 pitches combined in the previous two days, would have been any more effective last night than Minter - as a reminder, Minter was in the midst of a nine-outing scoreless streak.
