Snags win in extra innings Tepera (2-2) earned the extra-innings win Saturday over the Twins, allowing a walk and striking out one without allowing a hit in a scoreless inning.

Impact Tepera worked the 11th inning and ended up with the win after Taylor Ward hit a walkoff home run. In his last seven appearances, Tepera has allowed three hits, one walk and one hit batter while striking out four without allowing a run. The closer role is still up for grabs, with Tepera, Jose Quijada, Jimmy Herget and Jesse Chavez all receiving high-leverage chances since Raisel Iglesias was traded to Atlanta last week. Tepera's current scoreless streak bodes well for his chances to keep getting save chances. He's converted two while adding 15 holds and posting a 3.77 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 33:17 K:BB through 43 innings this year.

Notches second save Tepera picked up a save with a perfect ninth inning against the Athletics on Monday.

Impact Tepera needed just six pitches to quickly finish off the 1-0 victory. He earned his first save since May 1 and has now converted two of his six chances this season. The veteran righty has turned in five straight scoreless appearances, lowering his season ERA to 3.95 through 41 innings.

Was unavailable Friday Tepera was unavailable Friday against the Mariners but interim manager Phil Nevin said Tepera should be available Saturday, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Angels won 4-3 in 10 innings, with Jose Quijada pitching the eighth, Jesse Chavez blowing a save in the ninth, and Jimmy Herget getting the save in the 10th inning. The expectation would have been for Tepera to factor somewhere in that mix, but he was unavailable for an unknown reason. He most recently logged a scoreless frame Thursday against Oakland.

Tepera then served up a game-winning two-run home run to Jeremy Pena. This was Tepera's first appearance since serving a two-game suspension for his role in a brawl with the Mariners on June 26. It was also the first time he has given up multiple runs in an appearance since May 17.
