Gearrin blew the lead Tuesday, giving up four runs over two-thirds of an inning against the Rockies.
Gearrin was ineffective Tuesday, allowing four of the six batters he faced to reach base. The big blow was dealt by Nolan Arenado when he smashed a hanging slider into left field giving the Rockies the lead and the win. Gearrin has now imploded twice over his past five outings, surrendering two home runs over that span. As a sinker-slider-changeup reliever, he will not be successful if he doesn't keep his pitches down in the strike zone, something he is having trouble with right now. While he carried some value in leagues that count holds, it may be best to look at other options until he rights the ship.
