Jose Alvarado allowed a run on three hits, but he still picked up a save Thursday against the Rockies.
Interestingly enough, Jordan Romano worked the eighth inning of Thursday’s contest, and he worked a scoreless frame with one strikeout. Alvarado was handed a three-run lead, but he did make it interesting by allowing three hits and a walk; one of those hits being an RBI single. He also struck out three, so the stuff was fine even when the command wasn’t. Alvarado could see more save chances, but Romano remains the favorite to get the majority of those opportunities.
