relief pitcher

I hear they are soon releasing the movie “Groundhog Day II” in which Bill Murray portrays a Dodgers relief pitcher named “Tanner Treinen.”

No role in baseball has undergone more of a transformation than that of a relief pitcher.

The back-and-forth animosity on the field came to a peak Thursday when Dodgers relief pitcher Jack Little hit Fernando Tatis Jr. with a pitch in the ninth inning.

The relief pitcher, 27, was struck on the side of the face when the Baltimore Orioles' Adley Rutschman accidentally hit the ball into the home dugout at Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, Florida.

Starting pitcher Landon Stump couldn’t get through the fifth, but the Bruins’ relief pitchers carried the brunt of the battle to shut out the Roadrunners.
