Rangers' Jacob Latz: Records two-out save
Latz struck out both batters he faced to earn the save in Tuesday's 8-5 victory over the Athletics.
The Rangers entered the ninth with an 8-3 advantage, but Trevor Williams gave up a two-run homer to Jeff McNeil and plunked Donovan Walton before Latz was summoned with one out. The left-hander immediately stopped the rally, striking out Darell Hernaiz and Henry Bolte en route to securing his 28th save of the campaign. Latz needed only eight pitches to record the final two outs and lowered his ERA to 1.63. This was his eighth consecutive scoreless appearance and he's posted a 16:6 K:BB across 9.2 innings during that span.

Rangers' Jacob Latz: Grabs 26th save
Latz earned the save Sunday against the Angels, allowing one hit and issuing one walk while striking out two over a scoreless ninth inning.
Latz was unsurprisingly called upon to protect a two-run lead in the ninth but immediately ran into trouble when Christian Moore lined a leadoff double. Mike Trout was intentionally walked later in the frame, bringing the winning run to the plate, but Latz escaped the threat to secure his 26th save. The left-hander hasn't allowed a run over his last eight innings, collecting five saves with a 13:6 K:BB during that span. Latz owns an excellent 1.68 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and 65:18 K:BB across 59 innings this season.

Rangers' Jacob Latz: Picks up save No. 25
Latz earned a save against the Nationals on Thursday, walking one batter and striking out three in a scoreless inning of work.
Latz inherited a two-run lead when he entered in the ninth frame and worked around a one-out walk to finish off the shutout. Outside of the batter he walked, Latz needed just 10 pitches to strike out three hitters, and five of his 16 total pitches were whiffs. The 30-year-old entered 2026 with just one career MLB save to his name, but Latz has emerged as one of MLB's top closers this season, converting 25 of 28 save opportunities while posting a 1.74 ERA, 0.74 WHIP and 61:16 K:BB over 57 innings spanning 45 appearances.

He was sharp Saturday, protecting a one-run lead in the eighth inning before staying on for the ninth after the Rangers' offense gave him some extra cushion to work with. Latz has converted 24 of 27 save chances this season while posting a 1.77 ERA, 0.73 WHIP and 58:15 K:BB across 56 innings.

Latz allowed two hits and a walk while striking out three over two scoreless innings to earn the save in Friday's 2-1 win over Baltimore.
Latz was asked to protect a one-run advantage for the final two frames and ultimately converted his 22nd save of the season, though the ninth inning provided some drama. Baltimore put the potential tying run in scoring position before Christian Franklin singled to right, but Brandon Nimmo threw Leody Taveras out at the plate. Latz clinched the save by striking out Christian Encarnacion-Strand to end the game. Latz has been reliable all season long for Texas, posting a 1.87 ERA and converting 22 of his 25 save chances.

Rangers' Jacob Latz: Blows save but earns win
Latz (3-1) was tagged with his third blown save of the season but earned the win in relief Tuesday against the Giants. He allowed two runs (one earned) on two hits and a walk while striking out one across one inning.
Latz entered the game in the ninth with the Rangers holding a two-run lead, but he allowed a two-run single to Bryce Eldridge, resulting in the blown save. However, the lefty was credited with the win when Ezequiel Duran walked it off for Texas with a ground-rule double in the bottom of the ninth. Latz isn't on his most productive stretch, as he's allowed earned runs in three of his last four appearances. He owns a 4.26 ERA across 6.1 innings and six outings since the All-Star break.

Latz struck out one and retired all three batters faced in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the White Sox.
Latz threw 14 pitches (10 strikes) in a non-save situation after not having pitched since Saturday. It appears manager Skip Schumaker didn't want his All-Star closer getting rusty. The Rangers are off Thursday, and Latz will be available as normal when the club returns to action Friday against Seattle.
