Hunter Strickland will continue to see save opportunities for Giants
San Francisco Giants closer Hunter Strickland will continue to receive save chances, manager Bruce Bochy said.
Strickland had been doing well prior to a four-run, three-hit ninth inning in a brutal loss to the San Diego Padres on Tuesday. Bochy did state that matchups could play a factor at times, so the situation in the Giants' bullpen remains somewhat flexible. Steven Okert is the other likely candidate.
Through 58 1/3 innings, Strickland's 3.24 ERA has taken a leap from last year's 2.45 clip. His 22.2 strikeout percentage is below his 24.6 career-average.
