Hernandez was the third different reliever to lose to the Reds in as many days. He has been quite effective this season, with 12 strikeouts in 10 innings and a 3.60 ERA along with a 0.90 WHIP. It remains to be seen how Bruce Bochy will handle the bullpen in the next series, as multiple guys are struggling in high-leverage scenarios right now.

Jonathan Hernandez blew the save Thursday against the Red Sox, allowing four runs on four hits across 1/3 an inning to go along with one strikeout and three walks.

Hernandez took the mound with an 8-5 lead in the bottom of the ninth inning. He opened the frame with back-to-back walks before a single and double brought Boston to within 8-7. After an intentional walk and strikeout, Hernandez allowed a couple more singles with the walk-off being hit by Rob Refsnyder. The Rangers closer situation remains unpredictable and unclear.
