Justin Slaten - Blows save, takes loss Thursday Slaten (0-2) was charged with the loss and a blown save in Thursday's 4-2 defeat to the Blue Jays, allowing three runs on three hits and one walk with no strikeouts in one inning. Impact One game after giving up the winning run, albeit one that was unearned in extra innings in Wednesday's loss to Toronto, Slaten's showing Thursday was far less excusable. The right-hander gave up a go-ahead three-run home run to Vladimir Guerrero in the eighth inning, taking his first blown save of the season. Slaten now holds a 5.56 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 9:5 K:BB over 11.1 innings, and it wouldn't be surprising if he starts to lose some high-leverage work to Garrett Whitlock and Liam Hendriks in Boston's bullpen.
