Secures sixth save Raley threw a perfect inning and earned a save against Baltimore on Friday.
Impact Raley tossed eight of 12 pitches for strikes and made quick work of the Orioles to finish off the 5-4 victory. He's now converted six of his seven save opportunities this season and lowered his ERA to 2.86 through 28.1 frames. The 34-year-old southpaw has given up three runs over his last 14 outings, all coming during an ugly outing in Cincinnati on July 9.

Earns fifth save Raley picked up the save Tuesday, striking out two and walking a batter in the ninth inning of a 3-2 victory over Boston.
Impact After retiring the first two batters in order in the ninth, Raley issued a two-out walk to Jeter Downs. He finished the night by striking out Franchy Cordero on three pitches. It was his fifth save of the season and first since June 26. His five saves are tied for the team lead with Andrew Kittredge (elbow) and Colin Poche. Raley should continue to get the occasional save opportunity but will primarily serve in a setup role moving forward.

Unavailable in Toronto Raley will be placed on the restricted list and won't travel with the Rays for the upcoming five-game series against the Blue Jays, which begins Thursday, due to Canada's vaccinati...
Impact Raley didn't allow a hit over two scoreless innings during Tuesday's loss to Milwaukee, and he won't be able to travel with the team to Toronto since he's apparently unvaccinated. The 34-year-old has four saves and seven holds with a 2.42 ERA this season, so his absence will be significant for the Tampa Bay bullpen. The Rays have five relievers with at least two saves this season, with Colin Poche and Jason Adam set to be the top options for the five-game set versus the Blue Jays.

Earns fourth save Raley picked up the save in Sunday's 4-2 win over Pittsburgh, striking out one and allowing a walk in the ninth inning.
Impact Raley converted the rare save opportunity, pitching around a two-out walk to secure the victory. The lefty was called upon to close out a game for the first time since May 11. The Rays have spread around save chances this season with Colin Poche receiving the bulk of the opportunities of late. With four saves, Raley is now one behind both Poche and Andrew Kittredge for the team lead. It seems most likely that he'll get the occasional save opportunity and Sunday's chance had more to do with two left-handed hitting batters coming to the plate in the ninth than a changing of the guard.

Notches third save Raley walked one and struck out one in a scoreless 10th inning Wednesday to record his third save of the season in a 4-2 win over the Angels.
Impact The Rays' bullpen usage remains as mercurial as ever, but Raley at the very least appears to have earned a place of trust among Kevin Cash's high-leverage crew. The veteran lefty has two saves, a win and a hold in his last four games and has been scored upon in only one of his 11 appearances this season, leaving him with a 1.80 ERA, 0.70 WHIP and 13:2 K:BB through 10 innings.

Impact Raley entered the game to protect an 8-7 lead after Ryan Thompson served up a solo home run to Eugenio Suarez to lead off the ninth inning. The 33-year-old southpaw needed just nine pitches to retire three straight batters and pick up his second save in as many days. Raley has registered a 2.25 ERA with three saves and a 10:1 K:BB through eight innings this season.
