Earns third win Sunday Iglesias (3-2) pitched a perfect 1.1 innings while striking out two batters as he picked up the win in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Athletics.

It was a great bounceback performance after the 31-year-old Iglesias got chased for two home runs in his last appearance Friday. He now owns a 5.19 ERA and 24:3 K:BB over 17.1 innings.

Nails down sixth save Iglesias gave up one hit and struck out two in a scoreless ninth inning Monday to record his sixth save of the season in a 5-4 win over the Astros.

Impact The former Red has converted four straight save opportunities, going 6-for-8 overall to begin his tenure with the Angels. Iglesias has been far from automatic, posting a 5.54 ERA and 1.38 WHIP in 13 innings, but his 17:3 K:BB is sharp, while his 20.6 percent swinging strike rate and 42.9 percent groundball rate are both career highs, suggesting better days ahead for his ratios.

Notches fifth save Iglesias pitched a scoreless ninth inning, allowing one walk and one hit while striking out one to secure the save against the Dodgers on Sunday.

Impact Iglesias has been very inconsistent this season. Sunday's save wasn't easy, with the tying run at second with only one out. However, Iglesias was able to work his way out of it to hold on to the 2-1 win. The 31-year-old has a 6.00 ERA and a 1.42 WHIP in 12 innings. The Angels would like more consistency out of their closer, but his 15 strikeouts and three walks are a good sign.

He's now 4-for-6 in save opportunities this season, though there is no indication that he is in danger of losing his role. Iglesias has a 6.00 ERA across nine innings for the campaign, though that's bloated when considering his excellent 13:1 K:BB.

Strikes out the side in save Iglesias pitched a perfect 11th inning, striking out all three batters to earn his second save of the season in Thursday's 7-5, extra-innings win over Toronto.

Impact The closer has been extremely inconsistent thus far in 2021, recording flawless saves in two appearances while allowing at least one run in each of the other three outings. Iglesias has a 18.0 K/9 rate through five innings and remains the Angels' best option to close games, but continued struggles may convince manager Joe Maddon to look elsewhere for saves.

The save was Iglesias' second as a member of the Angels.
