Raisel Iglesias threw a perfect ninth inning to preserve a 3-2 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday. Iglesias struck out all three batters he faced in this one, making easy work of one of the best lineups in baseball. The 34-year-old has been almost untouchable this year, going 27-for-29 in save opportunities while pitching to a microscopic 1.45 ERA and 0.62 WHIP. Iglesias hasn't allowed a run since June 16, a span of 23 IP. The veteran righty is one of the best closers in the game.

Raisel Iglesias continued his strong season by earning his 23rd save of the year in Thursday's victory against the Miami Marlins. The veteran worked a 1-2-3 inning with a strikeout in between to ground outs to secure the Braves their 59th victory. Even at age 34, Iglesias continues to be one of the best closers in the league with a 1.73 ERA and 8.42 K/9. Managers should continue to be satisfied with one the best closers in the league that is on a team that continues to give him plenty of opportunities to help managers.

Raisel Iglesias needed only nine pitches to record his 15th save of the season in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Oakland A's. Iglesias rebounded after allowing an earned run on Friday, only the third earned run he allowed in May. Though he has just 16 strikeouts in his 22 1/3 innings, Iglesias' 2.42 ERA and 0.99 WHIP assure fantasy owners that he will continue to be a reliable source of saves as the Braves look to chase down the Phillies in the National League East.
