Gregory Weissert: Everything you need to know

Weissert earned the save in Sunday's 4-3 win over Detroit, striking out two while allowing a hit and a walk in a scoreless ninth inning. Called upon with a one-run lead, Weissert quickly faced trouble when he yielded an infield single to Andy Ibanez, putting the winning runner on-base. However, the right-hander quickly regained control, using five pitches to retire the next two batters and close out the game. The 30-year-old ends the year with a 2.82 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 57:21 K:BB across 67 innings of work.

Weissert (6-5) blew the save and took the loss against the Pirates on Friday after allowing one run on two hits while striking out one in two-thirds of an inning. Weissert was brought in for the sixth inning with two runners on base, tasked with protecting the Red Sox's two-run lead and to put southpaw Payton Tolle in line for his first major-league win. Weissert wasn't able to get the job done, yielding two doubles in a row that brought three runs home to put him in line for the loss. With Friday's performance, the 30-year-old right-hander has a 3.48 ERA and 1.06 WHIP across 10.1 innings in August.

Weissert (4-4) took the loss and blew a save during Sunday's game against Miami, allowing two runs on two hits with no strikeouts over one-third of an inning. The Red Sox called upon Weissert in the ninth inning Sunday, as closer Aroldis Chapman got the day off after pitching in back-to-back games. Weissert inherited a one-run lead, but surrendered a leadoff homer to Dane Myers on his second pitch of the inning. The 30-year-old reliever departed the contest with a runner on first in favor of Steven Matz. Matz yielded a go-ahead two-run homer to the first batter he faced. Weissert has now blown seven of his 10 save chances, and he yielded multiple runs in an outing Sunday for the first time since July 2.
