Takes fourth loss Estevez (1-4) was charged with the loss in an extra-inning battle against the Mariners on Saturday, allowing one run on two walks over 1.2 innings while also hitting a batter with...

Impact Estevez entered the game with the score tied in the bottom of the ninth and retired the side on 12 pitches before being brought back out for the 10th. The right-hander then proceeded to intentionally walk Cal Raleigh to open the frame before recording outs in the next two at-bats. However, things fell apart for Estevez after he hit Dylan Moore in the following at-bat, then walked Mitch Haniger to send home the winning run for Seattle. The two walks on the night marked a season high for the reliever, while the run that came home, albeit unearned, was the first that happened on his watch since May 21 against the Astros.

Carlos Estévez may get shot at nailing Philadelphia Phillies closer role

Open to any role Estevez, when asked Monday what his role with the Phillies would be, responded, "I'm down to whatever, man," Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Impact Estevez was acquired in a trade with the Angels on Saturday, with pitching prospects George Klassen and Samuel Aldegheri going the other way. Estevez saved 20 games and produced a 2.38 ERA and 0.74 WHIP prior to the move, but his new manager Rob Thomson typically preferred a committee approach. Estevez may well be ahead of both Jose Alvarado (13 saves) and Jeff Hoffman (nine saves) on the closer depth chart, but his share of the ninth inning will likely be smaller than it was in Los Angeles.

Traded to Philadelphia The Angels traded Estevez to the Phillies on Saturday in exchange for right-hander George Klassen and left-hander Samuel Aldegheri.

Impact Estevez was one of the top closers available at the deadline, having logged 20 saves in 23 chances this season with a 2.38 ERA and 0.74 WHIP. He'll join a Phillies bullpen that opened the season deploying Jose Alvarado in the ninth inning before turning to Jeff Hoffman late in June, with Alvarado occasionally mixing in. Without a clear top closer, Estevez has a chance to step into the ninth-inning role for the Phillies, who boast an MLB-best 64-39 record.

Notches 20th save Estevez pitched a perfect inning against the Mariners on Wednesday to earn a save.

Impact Estevez needed just nine pitches to set the Mariners down in order and preserve a 2-1 victory. The right-hander continued his run of dominance, as he's now held the opponent without an earned run in 19 straight appearances covering 18.1 innings. Over that span, Estevez has gone 13-for-13 in save chances and has posted a minuscule 0.38 WHIP.

Sharp in 19th save Estevez struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Monday's 3-1 win over the Mariners.

Impact Estevez dispatched the middle of the Mariners' lineup on nine pitches, all of which were strikes. This was Estevez's 17th scoreless outing in a row, a span in which he's allowed just three hits while posting a 15:2 K:BB and 12 of his 19 saves for the year. While the Angels haven't been particularly good, he's functioned as a top-10 closer this season. Estevez has added a 2.45 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and 32:5 K:BB through 33 innings.

Locks down another save Estevez picked up his 18th save of the season in Sunday's 8-5 win over the Athletics, tossing a scoreless ninth while allowing a walk.

Impact Estevez made things a little interesting by issuing a leadoff walk to Lawrence Butler in the inning but went on to retire the next three batters in order to shut the door on the game. He's now converted each of his last 12 saves and hasn't let up an earned run since May 20, which spans over 18 appearances. His name has been swirling around trade talks, though it remains to be seen if he'll be dealt at the deadline and if he'd still be a closer for his new team. The 31-year-old owns a 2.53 ERA, 0.78 WHIP and 31:5 K:BB in 32 innings.

Clean inning for save Estevez struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Mariners.

Impact This was Estevez's first save since June 28, though that was due to a lack of opportunity. He's riding a 15-inning scoreless streak in which he has a 14:1 K:BB and just three hits allowed. The closer is up to 17 saves in 20 chances while pitching to a 2.61 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 31:4 K:BB through 31 innings this season.

Snares 15th save Estevez picked up the save Tuesday against Oakland, allowing one hit with two strikeouts across a scoreless ninth inning.

Impact Estevez's streak of eight consecutive perfect innings came to an end Tuesday. However, he converted on his ninth straight save attempt and hasn't allowed an earned run since May 20. While saves have come at a premium for an Angels team that rests 12 games below .500, Estevez has made the most of his opportunity and is on pace for career lows in ERA and WHIP.

Takes loss in 10th Estevez (0-3) took the loss against the Astros on Tuesday after allowing an unearned run on a hit and a walk while managing to record one out.

Impact Estevez had no room for error after the Angels failed to score in the top of the 10th and was stuck with facing the heart of the Astros lineup. Yordan Alvarez was intentionally walked to start the inning, and then Alex Bregman was retired before giving up the game-winning hit to Jeremy Pena. Estevez has now pitched on back-to-back days and in three of the last four and likely will have the day off Wednesday. He now owns a 5.06 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 17:3 K:BB in 16 innings.
