Debut Details
| May 3, in an 8-7 win against the Angels. The second of five pitchers on the night, he allowed three runs on three hits in one-third of an inning. Of 16 pitches thrown, nine were for strikes. Coming on in the sixth inning with Albert Pujols on first base and one out in relief of right-handed starter Hisashi Iwakuma, Pagan gave up a single to right field to Luis Valbuena, advancing Pujols to third, and a sacrifice fly to Andrelton Simmons to score Pujols. Ben Revere followed with a single to center field, putting runners at the corners with one out before Cliff Pennington singled to center to bring home Valbuena. At this point, Pagan was relieved by right-hander Nick Vincent, who induced a bunt from Martin Maldonado, but he then gave up a two-run double to Yunel Escobar which scored Revere and Pennington, before Vincent struck out Kole Calhoun swinging to end the inning. Pagan was tagged with a blown save. |
