Takes loss in relief Iglesias (1-1) was charged with the loss after surrendering two runs on three hits against the Astros on Tuesday. He struck out three and did not issue any walks over one inning.
Impact Iglesias entered the top of the ninth inning in a non-save situation with the score tied, 2-2. Unfortunately, he gave up a leadoff single to Yordan Alvarez before Carlos Correa broke through an 0-2 count with a two-run home run to right field, serving Iglesias the loss. The 31-year-old has recorded one save so far this season and has already allowed four runs, including two long balls, in four appearances.

Blows save vs. White Sox Iglesias was credited with a win after blowing a save in Sunday's 7-4 victory over the White Sox. He recorded five outs and gave up an unearned run on one hit while striking out tw...
Impact Iglesias entered the contest in the eighth inning and was able to record the final two outs of the frame, but he wasn't able to preserve a 4-3 lead heading into the ninth. After he hit Nick Madrigal with a pitch, Adam Eaton hit a one-out grounder back to Iglesias, who made an errant throw to third base that allowed Madrigal to score the tying run. Fortunately, Jared Walsh was able to bail Iglesias out in the bottom of the ninth with a walkoff, three-run blast off Matt Foster. Considering that Iglesias was used three times in the Angels' four-game season-opening series with Chicago, he may not be available out of the bullpen Monday against the Astros.

Struggles in non-save situation Iglesias gave up two runs on two hits while recording just one out in a non-save situation Friday against the White Sox.
Impact Manager Joe Maddon brought his closer on with the Angels down 7-6 in the top of the ninth inning, but Iglesias promptly served up a solo shot to Tim Anderson and later gave up a hit to Jose Abreu, who scored after Iglesias was pulled from the game. Considering Iglesias notched a save on Opening Day, it's frustrating that he was used the very next day without a lead to protect, but the Angels ended up needing seven pitchers in this one.

Records save Iglesias struck out two while recording the save in Thursday's win over the White Sox.
Impact Iglesias was dominant in his Angels debut, fanning two of the three batters that he faced while recording an eight pitch save. The 30-year-old will look to hold his closing role in an Angels bullpen that will be looking for consistency. The right-hander appeared in a closer-by-committee situation in 2020 for the Reds and should benefit from Joe Maddon's emphasis on consistently inserting particular pitchers in certain innings.

Expected to be full-time closer Iglesias is likely to pitch exclusively in save situations this season, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Impact Manager Joe Maddon noted late last week that Iglesias could be used for multiple-inning saves in certain situations, but the veteran closer isn't expected to be used much in non-save situations. Iglesias has compiled 106 career saves and brings a level of stability to the back end of an Angels bullpen that ranked dead last in baseball with 14 blown saves last season.
