Thornton isn’t a good high leverage reliever though, where was Garcia?
Cimber, Garcia, Mayza should have been in there in whatever order they thought was right if they wanted to go to the pen with a 2 run lead. Then Romano in the 9th. There’s a good reason why Thornton isn’t used unless it’s eating innings or a blowout.
Checked, Garcia not on roster, then Gage should have gone in, Thornton sux
