Converts 18th save Iglesias struck out the side in a perfect inning to earn the save in Wednesday's 5-4 win over Boston.

Impact After allowing a solo home run in each of his last two outings, Iglesias was able to put together a clean effort for his 18th save. The 31-year-old has a 3.57 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 63:7 K:BB across 40.1 innings this season. He's also collected a 6-3 record and three blown saves in 36 appearances, but he appears to have a strong grip on the closer role for the Angels. Iglesias has pitched on five of seven days in July, but he should be available if needed once the Angels open their three-game series in Seattle on Friday.

Secures 15th save Iglesias struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save against the Yankees on Wednesday.

Impact Early in the contest, it seemed unlikely that Iglesias would get a chance at a save, as New York jumped out to a 7-2 lead after one inning.

The right-hander has converted each of his past five save opportunities and is 15-for-18 in such chances overall this season.

Blows save, wins Iglesias (4-2) blew the save in Friday's 6-5 victory against the Diamondbacks but got the win, allowing one run on one hit with two strikeouts in one inning.

Impact Iglesias was selected to pitch the ninth of a one-run game but served up a game-tying two-out home run to Eduardo Escobar to blow the chance.

Iglesias now has a 3.96 ERA, but his job appears safe as Los Angeles lacks viable options at the back end of the bullpen.
