18 Aug
Summary
- Reliever Hicks surrendered a game-tying run in the ninth inning.
- He allowed one run on one hit and three walks over 1.1 innings.

In a recent matchup against the Cubs, relief pitcher Hicks was unable to secure the save, resulting in a loss for his team. The right-hander pitched 1.1 innings, allowing one run on a single hit and three walks, while also recording two strikeouts.
Hicks managed to get the final out of the eighth inning but faltered in the ninth. He surrendered a game-tying single with one out, which leveled the score at 5-5. The Cubs ultimately secured the victory with a walk-off win in the 10th inning.
Despite this recent setback, Hicks has maintained a respectable 3.32 ERA and a 1.47 WHIP across 38 innings pitched this season. However, his save conversion rate remains a point of concern, as he has only successfully converted one out of three save opportunities.
