He would have been given a blown save for that game, despite his nice line of two scoreless innings and three strikeouts.The team has given up 22 earned runs, and he's allowed five of them. I think saying he'd struggled previously is pretty fair.

He got hammered in his first appearance (and the US's only loss), but has done just fine in his 3 or 4 appearances since then (no runs at all).
