ALEX REYES NEWS

Picks up another save Reyes notched a save Monday against the Marlins after tossing a scoreless ninth inning with one strikeout.

Impact Reyes picked up his 17th save of the campaign and was absolutely filthy, tossing nine of his 10 pitches for strikes and closing the door on the Marlins rather quickly. The right-hander has gone 17-for-17 in save chances thus far and owns a sizzling 0.84 ERA across 32 innings this season.

Sees low-leverage work Saturday Reyes fired a scoreless seventh inning during which he issued a walk and recorded two strikeouts in a loss to the Cubs on Saturday.

Impact The talented closer had only logged two appearances since June 1, so manager Mike Shildt opted to get him some work in a non-save situation Saturday. Reyes' fantasy value has been hurt by a lack of save opportunities recently, but he's still sporting an elite 0.87 ERA and 32.8 percent strikeout rate across 29 appearances.

Tagged with relief loss Reyes (3-2) was tagged with the loss Sunday against the Reds after allowing one run on one hit and a walk while fanning two across one inning.

Impact Reyes was tasked with pitching the ninth inning on a 7-7 tie, and he was tagged with the loss after allowing a home to Jesse Winker, who went deep three times in this game. The right-hander ended a streak of four scoreless appearances, but he still owns an excellent 0.90 ERA on the season.

Impact Reyes was called upon after St. Louis took a one-run lead in the top of the ninth and delivered with his 16th save, good for second best in baseball. This was a rare strikeout-less outing for Reyes who lowered his ERA to 0.62 with the strong showing.

Impact Reyes entered the ninth with a three-run lead and allowed the first two batters to reach base but retired the next three to secure the save. He's been one of the most electric relievers in the game with 12.5 K/9 but also sports a high WHIP of 1.36.

Collects win Thursday Reyes (3-1) walked one and struck out one in a scoreless inning, earning the win Thursday versus Arizona.

Impact The closer was brought in to pitch the bottom of the ninth in a tied game. Reyes became the pitcher of record when Yadier Molina hit an RBI double in the 10th, and Daniel Ponce de Leon was able to convert the save. The 26-year-old Reyes has a 0.67 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 37:24 K:BB across 27 innings this year. He's converted all 14 of his save chances despite an ugly 8.0 BB/9 mark.

Handed first loss Reyes (2-1) lost Sunday's 2-1 match with Chicago, pitching one inning and allowing two runs (one earned) on one hit and two walks with two strikeouts.

Impact Reyes entered a scoreless game in the tenth and surrendered a Javier Baez two-run home run before walking two Cubs, but he was able to strike out the next two batters to limit any further damage. The run was only the second Reyes has given up all season, and he remains one of the game's best closer options thanks to a 0.72 ERA and 12.5 K/9.

Secures 14th save Reyes earned the save against the Cubs on Saturday, pitching a scoreless inning during which he gave up one hit and struck out one batter.

Impact The right-hander yielded a two-out infield single but was otherwise both effective and efficient in the outing, getting through the ninth inning on 13 pitches (eight of which were strikes). Reyes have been a revelation in his first full-time stint as a closer, going 14-for-14 in save chances and registering a minuscule 0.38 ERA across 24 innings. His 1.25 WHIP and 7.5 BB/9 suggest that the ERA is buoyed by some good fortune, but it's hard to argue with the overall results.

Scoops up 13th save Reyes gave up a hit and struck out the side in the ninth inning Wednesday to record his 13th save of the season in an 8-5 win over the Pirates.

Impact The right-hander flashed better control in this one, tossing 11 of 15 pitches for strikes and not issuing a free pass for the first time in six appearances. Walks are the only blemish on Reyes' line so far this season, however, as he's a perfect 13-for-13 on save chances with a 0.39 ERA and 31:20 K:BB through 23 innings.

Nails down 12th save Reyes walked one in a scoreless ninth inning Tuesday to record his 12th save of the season in a 5-2 win over the Pirates.

Impact The 26-year-old continues to roll as the Cards' closer. Reyes has yet to blow a save this season and has only been scored upon once in 20 appearances, leading to a 0.41 ERA accompanied by a 28:20 K:BB through 22 innings. That walk rate is a concern, but he's been almost unhittable so far this year.

Notches 11th save Reyes pitched a scoreless ninth inning, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out three to get the save in the Cardinals win over the Brewers on Thursday.

Impact Reyes walked the first batter he faced in the ninth inning and allowed a runner to get into scoring position, but ultimately struck out three for his 11th save of the season. He trails only Mark Melancon for most saves in all of baseball. The 26-year-old has allowed just one run in 20 innings this season.
