Jeff Hoffman Blows Third Save of the Season, Falling out of Ninth-Inning Job?
Toronto Blue Jays closer Jeff Hoffman struggled again Tuesday, blowing his third save of the season in a 9-7 extra-innings win against the Brewers. Hoffman entered the ninth inning with a 6-4 lead but allowed two runs on two hits, forcing extra innings. The 33-year-old is now two for five in save chances, a large concern for a contender. He owns a 1.80 WHIP and 4.32 ERA across nine appearances. Hoffman has not found consistency since arriving from Philadelphia, and his grip on the closer role is weakening. Toronto could begin to consider alternative options if these struggles continue.
