Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Edwin Díaz faced challenges during a non-save situation on August 17 against the Colorado Rockies. He entered the game in the ninth inning of an 11-2 contest and allowed four hits and three earned runs without recording a strikeout. Díaz, who has an ERA of 11.85 this season, has struggled since returning from elbow surgery and has blown four saves in 16 games. Despite these difficulties, manager Dave Roberts has stated that he will continue to use Díaz as a closer due to a lack of better options in the bullpen.
