  • THE SUMMONER OF THE REVERSE JINX
Rivero and Treinen both gave up runs. I can't think of a combination of relievers on this team that I'd trust to pitch the three innings between pulling Scherzer after the 5th and Paplebon in the 9th
Honestly, I would have trusted Rivero to get out of a clean inning. I felt like Matt tried too hard to play match up baseball. At a certain point, your guy just has to be better and Rivero is that kind of pitcher.
