Colome blew a save opportunity against the Red Sox on Thursday while giving up two runs on four hits in the ninth inning.
Colome entered the ninth inning with a two-run lead, but was unable to secure a win for the Rays. This was only his second appearance of the season, with the first being a routine save. Despite a relatively low strikeout rate, Colome has proven he can be an effective closer and should have a fairly long leash in the role as a result. If struggles persist and he is demoted -- or if trade rumors finally come to fruition -- Sergio Romo and Jose Alvarado are potential closers in waiting.
