Hard to believe a major league pitcher can come in and walk a batter on 4 straight pitches when holding a 4 run lead. The last pitch was no where near the plate, when he should be putting it right down the middle to prevent a free pass.
I respect Hurdle for trying to use another closer with a 4 run lead, but I'd cross Bastardo off the closer option list down the stretch of the season. Good thing Melancon was on his game.
