Snags extra-inning win Trivino (4-4) allowed an unearned run on one hit in one inning, earning the extra-inning win Wednesday over San Diego.

Impact The 29-year-old saw the initial runner Ha-Seong Kim score on an error, but Trivino was able to limit the damage there. Matt Olson's two-run walkoff double in the bottom of the frame gave Trivino his first win since June 11. Oakland's closer has been steady this season with a 1.95 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 45:24 K:BB across 50.2 innings. He's collected 17 saves, six holds and two blown saves, but he's a perfect 10-for-10 in save chances since the start of June.

The save was Trivino's fourth in July, and he has posted a 1.59 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 10:7 K:BB across 11.1 innings this month.

Impact Trivino permitted the first two Mariners to reach base in the ninth and loaded the bases with one out before unleashing a wild pitch against Mitch Haniger that allowed the winning run to score. Though the outing resulted in a loss, Trivino's ERA is still an excellent 2.08, however his FIP is significantly higher at 3.75.

Impact Trivino has come away with the save in each of his last nine chances and recorded his sixth scoreless outing (over seven appearances) in the current month. The right-hander, who has gone 16-for-18 in save opportunities this season, has settled himself as one of the best late-inning relievers in the American League and currently sports a career-best 1.91 ERA with a 1.15 WHIP through 47 innings (44 appearances) on the season.

Logs six-out save Trivino allowed a run on one hit and one walk while striking out a batter over two innings Monday as he picked up his 15th save of the year in a 4-1 win over the Angels.

Impact Trivino came in and tossed a perfect eighth inning after starter Cole Irvin began the frame by allowing a single to Adam Eaton. The 29-year-old right-hander ran into a bit of trouble in the ninth, allowing a one-out RBI double to rookie Brandon Marsh, but closed out the rest of the inning without any further issues. Trivino has converted each of his last eight saves and owns a 1.96 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 41:22 K:BB over 46 innings.

Closes out Rangers on Sunday Trivino fired a scoreless ninth Sunday against the Rangers to pick up his 14th save of the year. He allowed a hit and a walk but struck out a batter too.

Impact Trivino made things a little interesting after the Rangers got two men on to bring the tying run to the plate with two outs. They could have opted to bring in Joey Gallo as a pinch hitter but instead went with Jonah Heim who lined the first pitch he saw out to deep center to end the game. Trivino has allowed one earned run over his last 26.2 innings and will head into the All-Star break with a 1.84 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 41:21 K:BB over 44 innings.

Heading into All-Star break hot Trivino, who secured his sixth hold in a win over the Astros on Thursday, hasn't allowed an earned run in 23 of his last 24 appearances.

Impact The hard-throwing right-hander also has two wins, eight saves and three holds during that 24-inning span, an impressively dominant stretch of relief work that has certainly endeared him to fantasy managers in all formats. Trivino coaxed his ERA back under 2.00 (1.96) with Thursday's scoreless frame against Houston, and it's worth noting his extensive success has come despite a significant drop in strikeout rate to 22.4 percent from 2020's 28.0 percent figure.

Secures 13th save Trivino allowed one run on three hits while striking out a batter over an inning Wednesday against the Rangers but was still able to pick up save No. 13 on the year.

Impact Trivino entered the ninth with the tough task of sending down the Rangers' 3, 4 and 5 hitters and ran into some trouble. He started off by recording an out but then allowed a solo home run to Joey Gallo to make it a 3-1 ballgame. The next two guys up each recorded a base knock to bring the potential winning run to the plate but Trivino was able to send them down and pick up the save. The 29-year-old owns a 2.11 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 35:17 K:BB over 38.1 innings in his first year as the Athletics' primary closer.

Gets fifth hold Trivino secured his fifth hold in a win over the Rangers on Tuesday, firing a scoreless one-third of an inning.

Impact After a busy stretch last week where he logged four appearances in six days, manager Bob Melvin gave Trivino some down time before calling on him for a quick two-pitch outing to close out the eighth inning. Trivino has been masterful over his last 17 appearances, not allowing a single earned run over the 17 innings covering that stretch while also generating an 0.88 WHIP.
