Romano is now 10 for 13 in save chances this year and boasts a 3.32 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 24:6 K:BB over 20 appearances (19 innings).

Romano is now 9-for-11 in save chances this season and sports a 3.60 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 19:5 K:BB over 17 appearances (15 innings).

When the Jays tacked on five more runs in the top of the ninth, Romano was no longer needed for a save and settled for a hold instead, with Nate Pearson finishing out the rout. On the season, Romano has a 3.21 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 18:4 K:BB through 14 innings and has successfully converted nine of his 10 save chances.

Takes loss against Yankees Romano (2-1) took the loss Saturday against the Yankees by allowed one run on three hits and one walk without recording an out.

Impact Romano allowed a double to Anthony Rizzo to begin the bottom of the ninth, and after an infield single by Gleyber Torres and a walk to Willie Calhoun, the right-hander gave up a walkoff single to DJ LeMehahieu to end the game. The run was the first that Romano had given up since his blown save against the Angels on April 9, but the right-hander has not looked as dominant to begin 2023 as he was over the previous two seasons with the Blue Jays. It's far too early to panic over mixed results at this point.

The right-hander leads the majors in saves, two ahead of Felix Bautista, David Bednar and Emmanuel Clase, and Romano's 12:3 K:BB through 9.1 innings is equally elite.
