Peralta earned the save against the Royals on Monday, allowing an unearned run on two hits in one inning. He struck out one.
Four different Yankees relievers were charged with a blown save in the contest as Kansas City erased a deficit in each of the seventh, eighth, ninth and 10th innings. New York put up three runs in the top of the 11th and turned the ball over to Peralta to seal the win, which he succeeded in doing despite allowing a pair of hits. The save was the southpaw's third of the season and first since joining the Yankees on April 27. He has four holds over 25 games with New York but has mostly worked in a low-leverage role and occasionally as an opener.
