RYAN TEPERA NEWS

Suffers first loss of the year Tepera (0-1) allowed two runs on one hit and a walk in just a third of an inning as he took the loss against the Dodgers on Friday.

Impact Tepera entered in the eighth with the score knotted at two and ended up giving the lead back to the Dodgers after A.J. Pollock swatted a two-run homer. The 33-year-old Tepera was taken out after facing the minimum three batters and only managing to record one out. He has now given up at least one run in two of his last three outings after he hadn't allowed a run in 20.1 consecutive innings spanning from May 12-June 20. Tepera owns a 2.43 ERA, 0.73 WHIP and 40:10 K:BB over 37 innings this year and has solidified his role as a late-game option for manager David Ross.

Earns 15th hold Tepera pitched two scoreless innings of relief with two strikeouts to record a hold in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Marlins.

Impact Tepera keeps rolling along for the Cubs, as he now hasn't allowed an earned run since early May and has a 1.82 ERA for the season to go along with a 0.61 WHIP. His 15 holds are also good for second on the team, behind Andrew Chafin's 17. Tepera has been a pleasant surprise and should remain in a high-leverage role in front of closer Craig Kimbrel.

Pitching well this season Tepera, who tossed a scoreless inning in Saturday's loss to the Giants, now has a 2.36 ERA and 0.71 WHIP across 26.2 innings this season.

Impact Tepera has been effective out of the bullpen for the Cubs and has worked his way into a high-leverage role in front of closer Craig Kimbrel. The 33-year-old has also continued to strike out batters at a good rate. His K/9 sits at 10.5 which follows the 13.5 figure he registered in 2020. If Tepera keeps generating the whiffs, he should remain an effective reliever for Chicago the rest of the season.

Picks up first save Tepera struck out two in 1.1 perfect innings to earn the save against the Pirates on Thursday.

Impact Craig Kimbrel had pitched each of the last two days, so Tepera was called on to earn a four-out save in Thursday's matchup. The right-hander has earned 12 holds this year and has posted a 2.66 ERA in 23.2 innings as a setup man. While Tepera's save Thursday was encouraging, Kimbrel has plenty of job security as the Cubs' closer.
