Raisel Iglesias was charged with one run on one hit while striking out two in 2/3 innings to earn the save in Wednesday's 7-6 win over the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
This contest featured a wild finish, as the ninth inning began with the Braves up 7-1 after plating six runs in the eighth. After the Padres trimmed the lead to 7-4, the Braves turned to Iglesias, and the All-Star closer immediately surrendered a two-run homer. However, the 36-year-old veteran rebounded to strike out the next two batters, preserving the win. Iglesias has now reached the 20-save mark for the eighth time in his excellent career.

EDGE Analysis
Iglesias entered the ninth inning with a three-run lead and closed things out despite allowing three singles. The veteran closer remains a perfect 17-for-17 in save opportunities this season despite allowing an earned run in three of his past eight outings. He owns a 1.53 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 32:6 K:BB across 29.1 innings this year and will be heavily leaned on with Robert Suarez (elbow) on the injured list.

Iglesias pitched a perfect inning to earn the save in Friday's 3-1 win over San Francisco.
EDGE Analysis
Iglesias has run into some struggles lately, allowing four runs (two earned) over his last 5.2 innings. He took two losses in that five-game span, while Friday's outing marked the first time in eight appearances in June in which he didn't allow a hit. Iglesias is still a perfect 16-for-16 in save chances while pitching to a 1.37 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 29:6 K:BB over 26.1 innings this season. While there are some warning signs, Iglesias doesn't appear to be at risk of losing the closing job any time soon, especially while Robert Suarez (elbow inflammation) is on the injured list.

Iglesias (0-2) took the loss Tuesday as Atlanta fell 7-6 to the Padres, giving up an unearned run on two hits in the 10th inning. He struck out one.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran closer was brought in to keep the game tied in the ninth inning and got the job done, but Iglesias couldn't prevent the phantom runner from scoring in the bottom of the 10th as Manny Machado lined a single up the middle on the first pitch he saw in the frame to bring home Jackson Merrill. Iglesias has been tagged for runs in three of his last four appearances, and over his last nine outings he's stumbled to a 3.72 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 10:3 K:BB in 9.2 innings. He has yet to blow a save this season, going 15-for-15, but the 36-year-old right-hander seems to be wearing down, and it will be tougher for manager Walt Weiss to find opportunities to give Iglesias some rest with Robert Suarez (forearm) not 100 percent right now.

Iglesias earned the save in Friday's 3-2 win over the Brewers, allowing one run on two hits and one walk with one strikeout in the ninth inning.
EDGE Analysis
Iglesias was summoned to protect a two-run lead in the ninth but ran into trouble, allowing an RBI single to Brice Turang that could have been more damaging had Jackson Chourio not been thrown out at home. Iglesias then rebounded with a three-pitch strikeout to remain a perfect 15-for-15 in save chances this season. Despite allowing a run in two of his past three outings, the 36-year-old owns a stellar 1.48 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 28:6 K:BB across 24.1 innings.

Iglesias notched a save against the Mets on Saturday, allowing one hit and issuing one walk while striking out one batter over one scoreless inning.
EDGE Analysis
It wasn't exactly an easy outing for Iglesias, who entered in the ninth inning with Atlanta up by two runs. The veteran closer allowed a leadoff double to Juan Soto and then put the tying run on base when he walked Marcus Semien with one out, but Iglesias was able to escape unscathed by getting Francisco Alvarez to ground into a double play. That allowed Iglesias to remain perfect in save chances with a 14-for-14 mark on the season. He's gone 9-for-9 while racking up a 16:4 K:BB over 14.2 frames since returning from a stint on the injured list May 5.
