  • Tyler Rogers RP | TOR

    Giants' Tyler Rogers: Takes second straight loss

    Rogers (0-2) allowed two runs on a hit and a walk with one strikeout in one-third of an inning, taking the loss versus the Padres on Sunday.

    Rogers appeared in both games in Mexico City this weekend, and he took the loss in each of those contests. He put two of the three batters he faced on base Sunday, and Camilo Doval was unable to get out of the jam. Rogers now has a 2.93 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 14:4 K:BB through 15.1 innings. He'll certainly enjoy getting back to sea level soon, though a three-game stop in Houston starts Monday before the Giants are back home at pitcher-friendly Oracle Park over the weekend.

  • Camilo Doval RP | SF

    Giants' Camilo Doval: Takes first blown save

    Doval was charged with a blown save Sunday versus the Padres, allowing a run on two hits while striking out one over two-thirds of an inning.

    Doval allowed a runner inherited from Tyler Rogers to score in the eighth inning, and the Giants were unable to bounce back. A two-run double from Matt Carpenter also put a run on Doval's line. It's the first blown save of the season for Doval, who has also gone 1-2 with three saves through 11 appearances. He has a 3.27 ERA, but his 1.36 WHIP and 15:6 K:BB through 11 innings are at least somewhat concerning marks.

  • Austin Voth RP | MIN

    Orioles' Austin Voth: Awarded win Sunday

    Voth (1-1) walked two and struck out two over two scoreless and hitless innings, earning the win Sunday over the Tigers.

    This was just the third time in 10 appearances this season that Voth wasn't changed with a run. All three of his scoreless efforts have come over his last four outings. The right-hander has a 5.52 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 14:4 K:BB across 14.2 innings as a low-leverage reliever this year. He's also picked up two holds. Voth's biggest problem has been home runs -- he gave up five long balls over his first five appearances but has since kept the ball in the yard.

  • Evan Phillips RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Evan Phillips: Secures third save

    Phillips allowed one hit in a scoreless inning Sunday. He struck out one and earned a save over the Cardinals.

    The Dodgers continue to deploy a closer-by-committee approach. Sunday was Phillips' first save opportunity since April 6, and he's now converted all three of his chances this season. Brusdar Graterol, who earned a save Saturday, recorded an out in the seventh inning Sunday. Phillips lowered his ERA to 2.70 with a 12:2 K:BB through 12 innings.

  • Braves' Raisel Iglesias: Tosses another scoreless inning

    Iglesias (shoulder) struck out one in a perfect fourth inning during a rehab outing at Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Iglesias began the regular season on the injured list due to a shoulder strain, but he began a rehab assignment Thursday and has tossed two perfect frames over his two minor-league appearances. It's unclear when the right-hander will be activated from the IL, but manager Brian Snitker said Friday that Iglesias won't need to make back-to-back rehab appearances before rejoining the major-league club, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

  • Ryan Pressly RP | CHC

    Astros' Ryan Pressly: Locks down save

    Pressly struck out one batter in a perfect inning to earn a save over Philadelphia on Sunday.

    Pressly needed just 13 pitches (nine strikes) to close out the 4-3 win. He didn't pick up his first save until April 21 but now has three in his last four outings. The veteran righty has also turned in six straight scoreless appearances, lowering his season ERA to 3.97 across 11.1 frames.

  • Josh Hader RP | HOU

    Padres' Josh Hader: Snares 10th save

    Hader picked up the save in Sunday's 6-4 win over San Francisco. He failed to record a strikeout over one perfect inning.

    Hader overcame the Mexico City altitude Sunday, posting a clean ninth inning to lock up the victory for San Diego. The save was Hader's 10th of the year, pushing him into sole possession of first place in the category. Through 12.0 innings, Hader has given up just one earned run while striking out 17.

  • Angels' Carlos Estevez: Two strikeouts in sixth save

    Estevez picked up the save during Sunday's 3-0 win over the Brewers, tossing a perfect ninth inning while striking out two.

    Estevez entered with a a three-run lead and retired William Contreras, Brian Anderson and Rowdy Tellez in order, including back-to-back strikeouts to start the frame. The right-hander is a perfect 6-for-6 in save opportunities and is currently the Angels' top closer with Jose Quijada (elbow) and Ryan Tepera (shoulder) on the injured list.

  • Yennier Cano RP | BAL

    Orioles' Yennier Cano: Secures second save

    Cano picked up the save during Sunday's 5-3 win over Detroit, tossing 1.1 perfect innings while striking out two.

    Cano entered a 4-3 game in the eighth with two on and two out. He struck out Jake Rogers to escape the jam, and with Felix Bautista likely unavailable after pitching three of the last four days, Cano came back out for the ninth. He retired Andy Ibanez, Zach McKinstry and Riley Greene in order to secure his second save in as many tries. Cano hasn't allowed a hit, run or walk across nine outings (11 innings) and has 12 strikeouts.

  • Yimi Garcia RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Yimi Garcia: Can't secure save

    Garcia blew the save during Sunday's 10-8 loss to the Mariners, allowing one run on one hit and one walk while striking out two over 1.1 innings.

    Garcia replaced Anthony Bass in a one-run game with two on and two out in the eighth. He got out of the inning by striking out Taylor Trammell, who hit a grand slam earlier in the contest, and he came out for the ninth with Jordan Romano and Erik Swanson presumably unavailable after pitching Friday and Saturday. Garcia walked the leadoff hitter in the ninth and surrendered a two-out, game-tying RBI single to J.P. Crawford before getting out of the frame. It was Garcia's second blown save in as many chances, and he likely won't get many additional opportunities with Romano the team's clear-cut closer.
