Cishek was charged with his first blown save of the season in Tuesday's loss to the A's. He gave up three runs on two hits (including a home run) and one walk in one-third of an inning.
Thrust into a save situation in just his second appearance of the season, Cishek gave up a single and the go-ahead home run to the first two batters he faced. The Mariners are expected to mix and match in the later innings while Edwin Diaz works through some mechanical issues in lower-leverage spots, and while Cishek's closing experience seemed to give him a leg up on his competition, this performance may have set him back. Nick Vincent, Tony Zych, Marc Rzepczynski, and even Dan Altavilla and James Pazos, could be factors in the back-end mix as well.
