Earns first save Rogers struck out one batter over a perfect 0.2 innings while picking up a save over the Pirates on Friday.
Records third hold of 2021 Rogers pitched 2.1 scoreless innings, allowing two hits, striking out three and earning the hold in Wednesday's 13-12, extra-innings loss to Oakland.
Impact The lefty has yet to allow an earned run through six appearances in 2021, having struck out nine and walking only one. Rogers has been a reliable option in Minnesota's bullpen since 2016 and he figures to pitch in even more high-leverage situations going forward amidst closer Alex Colome and reliever Hansel Robles' struggles. At an average velocity of 95.2 MPH, the sidearmer is throwing his sinker harder than ever and appears well on his way to a dominant 2021 campaign.

Impact It was only one game, but Rogers was used earlier in the game to face key left-handed batters while Alex Colome was used in the ninth inning with a three-run lead. Colome blew the save chance, so performance could dictate save opportunities more than anything, but for now it looks like Colome may get the majority of save chances even without Baldelli defining any roles.

Impact Rogers has led the Twins in saves the past two seasons, but he could be the secondary option to finish the ninth inning after the Twins signed Alex Colome in free agency. Rogers could still share save chances as Baldelli has ignored traditional closer patterns. However, Rogers may be used more frequently earlier in games to face key lefties.
