TAYLOR ROGERS NEWS

Earns ninth save Rogers struck out two in a perfect ninth inning to earn the save in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Pirates.

Impact Rogers has been one of the most reliable ninth-inning options in baseball over the first few weeks of the season, as he hasn't yet allowed a run and has converted nine of 10 save chances. The southpaw has already matched his save total from 2021, and he's establishing plenty of job security as the Padres' closer.

Picks up eighth save Rogers picked up his eighth save of the season after getting two outs without allowing a baserunner or recording a strikeout Friday against the Pirates.

Impact The save situation was created after Craig Stammen gave up a couple hits to start the ninth inning while the Padres were up 7-3. Rogers shut the door for his eighth save of the month, which slots him third in the majors behind Josh Hader and Jordan Romano.

Gets one-out save Rogers pitched one-third of an inning, retiring the only batter he faced on the way to a save in Wednesday's 8-5 win over the Reds.

Impact After the Padres entered the bottom of the ninth inning up 8-3, Rogers was called upon to protect an 8-5 lead with two men on base. He promptly induced a game-ending flyout off the bat of Jake Fraley on the first pitch he threw, securing his sixth save of the season. Rogers is 6-for-7 on save opportunities and has not allowed an earned run while posting a 0.57 WHIP with seven strikeouts over seven innings this year.

Blows save against Dodgers Rogers blew the save during a 3-2 win against the Dodgers on Saturday, allowing two hits with two strikeouts in 1.2 scoreless innings.

Impact San Diego had a 2-0 lead most of the game until reliever Luis Garcia put two on with one out in the eighth. Rogers was brought in to navigate the jam and struck out Freddie Freeman but surrendered a Trea Turner double to tie the game and blow his first save chance. He stayed in for the ninth and was able to work around a single and HBP to keep the game tied. The 31-year-old is still yet to allow a run through 6.2 innings and his five saves put him among the league leaders.

Impact The southpaw was named closer to start the season by manager Bob Melvin and the approach has worked quite well so far, as he has gone perfect in save chances through his first two appearances. He recorded nine saves in both the 2020 and 2021 seasons, but that figure is likely to be surpassed easily considering his role to start the campaign.

Impact It was the expectation that Rogers would serve as the closer in San Diego after the team acquired him Thursday from the Twins, and Melvin did not hesitate in making it official.
