Suffers loss in rare rough outing Loaisiga (7-3) took the loss and was tagged with a blown save in Tuesday's loss to Kansas City. He allowed four runs on five hits while striking out two over two-thirds of an innin...
Impact Loaisiga has been mostly outstanding out of the bullpen for the Yankees this season -- he entered Tuesday's contest with a 1.63 ERA and 0.96 WHIP through 30 appearances and was working on a streak of 11 outings without allowing a run. He clearly didn't have his best stuff Tuesday, however, as he couldn't protect a one-run New York lead. The right-hander surrendered four singles and a double as the Royals pushed four runs across the plate. Loaisiga's ERA jumped up to 2.52 as a result, but he should continue to be used in high-leverage situations despite the disappointing appearance.

Picks up rare save Loaisiga pitched a clean ninth while needing just six pitches to earn his second save of the year in a 5-4 win over the Orioles on Friday.
Impact Loaisiga was called upon to close out Friday's game after Aroldis Chapman had pitched four of the last six days and was given a breather. The 26-year-old came in to relieve Wandy Peralta after he allowed a leadoff single and was able to induce a 5-4-3 double play before getting Pedro Severino to foul out for the final out. Loaisiga has been very solid aside from an uncharacteristic blowup against the Nationals last week, as he owns a 2.49 ERA and 20:4 K:BB over 21.2 innings.
