Impact The right-hander entered the game in relief of starter John Means with one out in the seventh inning. Plutko allowed an inherited runner to score before allowing a game-tying, two-run home run to Randy Arozarena. The 29-year-old Plutko has hit a rough patch with seven runs allowed in his last 3.2 innings, including a four-spot against the Yankees as an opener on May 16. He's posted a 3.57 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, 14:10 K:BB across 22.2 innings overall with five holds, two blown saves and a win in 17 outings. He should be expected to work in lower-leverage roles until he can get back in a groove.
