Raisel Iglesias Notches Fifth Save Monday
Raisel Iglesias picked up his fifth save of the season in Monday's 6-3 win over the Rockies. Iglesias entered to pitch the bottom of the ninth inning up by three. He got the first two outs on a fly-out and a line-out, allowed a double, and ended the game with a strikeout. The 35-year-old veteran has been inconsistent so far this season, converting five of seven save opportunities with a 5.73 ERA, an 8.18 K/9 rate, and a 1.64 BB/9 rate in 11 innings of work. He has split save opportunities over the last seven days with Dylan Lee, who converted one of two with a 0.00 ERA. While Lee has pitched well this season, Iglesias has a long track record of being a higher-end closer, so he will likely be given some leash to get things back on track.
