Nick Vincent saddled with loss

Nick Vincent (3-2) allowed three runs on one hit and one walk (intentional) over two-thirds of an inning, and was charged with the loss in Seattle's 5-3 defeat to the Angels on Sunday. He struck out none.

Fantasy Implications: Vincent has not pitched a clean frame in his last four outings, a stretch in which he has surrendered five earned runs, six hits, and three walks over three innings. Two of the runs charged to Vincent on Sunday were unfortunately dictated by the circumstances of the game. After Ben Revere singled and stole second for the Angels, the 31-year-old right-hander then intentionally walked Mike Trout, who came around to score on a Justin Upton double. Upton advanced to third on an Albert Pujols' fly-out to center, and then scored when Marc Rzepczynski, who relieved Vincent, uncorked a wild pitch. Vincent, however, has been a steady force in the Mariners' bullpen, as attested by his fine 2.52 ERA, 1.07 WHIP,  48/13 K/BB and 27 holds for the year. He has given up only two long balls over 60 2/3 innings of work. In leagues that count holds, Vincent can provide ample fantasy value.
