Blows save against Dodgers Rogers (1-1) blew the save and took the loss against the Dodgers on Tuesday, allowing three runs on one hit and two walks without retiring a batter.

Impact With San Francisco clinging to a one-run lead into the late innings, the Giants opted to use Jake McGee in a setup role in the eighth and turn to Rogers to close the game out in the ninth. The move backfired, as McGee pitched a perfect frame while Rogers imploded for the loss. The right-hander threw only three of 11 pitches for strikes and walked the first two batters he faced before Will Smith walked it off with a three-run blast to left field. Despite the letdown, Rogers is unlikely to lose his manager's confidence, as he has racked up 17 holds and 10 saves this season while posting a strong 2.05 ERA.

Posts 17th hold Rogers struck out one in a perfect inning to earn a hold in Sunday's 3-1 win over Washington.

Impact After a rough stretch in early June, Rogers has bounced back well. He's allowed just one run in his last 11.1 innings across 12 appearances while adding two saves and seven holds in that span. The sidearm-throwing righty has been excellent for much of the season with a 1.47 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 24:7 K:BB in 43 innings overall while logging 10 saves and 17 holds. He's shared the bulk of the save chances with Jake McGee, who worked the ninth inning for his 19th save of the year Sunday.

Records one-out save Rogers saved Sunday's 5-2 victory over Arizona, walking one while recording the final out.

Impact After starter Anthony DeSclafani went 8.2 innings, Rogers entered to lock up the San Francisco victory with a Josh Reddick groundout. It took 17 pitches to record the out and with a quick turnaround Monday, Rogers' availability may be limited.

Picks up 14th hold Rogers allowed a hit and struck out one in one inning to earn a hold in Saturday's 6-5 win over Arizona.

Impact The right-hander appears to have shifted back into a setup role, as he has accrued four holds and one save in his eight outings following a blown save June 9. Rogers hasn't allowed a run since that misstep, giving up only five hits while striking out eight in eight innings. Manager Gabe Kapler has alternated between Rogers and Jake McGee as the closer for stretches this season, as both have pitched well late in games. For the year, Rogers has a 1.36 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 23:6 K:BB while piling up nine saves and 14 holds in 39.2 innings.

Secures ninth save Rogers earned the save against Arizona on Tuesday with a perfect inning during which he struck one one batter.

Impact It didn't look like the Giants would have any use for a closer early on, as Arizona built up a quick seven-run lead. However, San Francisco's offense stormed back and took the lead in the bottom of the eighth inning, giving Rogers a shot at his ninth save. He had little trouble taking advantage of the opportunity, pitching a 1-2-3 ninth inning and striking out Asdrubal Cabrera to end the game. Rogers has emerged as the Giants' top closing option due to a standout 1.56 ERA and 0.98 WHIP across 34.2 innings. His 4.7 K/9 and .239 BABIP provide some reason to doubt whether those numbers will hold up, however.

Records hold Monday Rogers allowed two hits in a scoreless inning in Monday's 5-2 win over Arizona.

Impact The 30-year-old has allowed multiple baserunners in five of his last seven outings. Rogers appeared to take control of San Francisco's closer job in mid-May, but he worked the eighth inning Monday while Jake McGee threw a perfect inning for the save. It's safe to say manager Gabe Kapler will go with the hot hand in the ninth inning. Rogers has still put up excellent ratios with a 1.60 ERA and 1.01 WHIP across 33.2 innings. He's added eight saves and 11 holds in a high-leverage role.

Blows save Rogers allowed two runs (one earned) on two hits and a walk in two innings, and was responsible for a blown save in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers.

Impact As reliable as the funky righty has been this season, he has converted just eight of his 12 save opportunities. Even so, Rogers still boasts a stellar 1.71 ERA and is tied for second in baseball with 30 relief appearances. Further, Wednesday was only the fourth appearance in which he's yielded an earned run.

Notches another save Rogers earned the save against the Cubs on Saturday, allowing one unearned run on one hit in one inning. He struck out one batter.

Impact For the second game in a row, Rogers got the call with San Francisco ahead in the ninth inning. The Giants' defense committed two errors behind him to allow Chicago to pull within a run, but the right-hander got out of the inning with the save secure despite throwing only half of his 22 pitches for strikes. Rogers and Jake McGee each have eight saves on the season, but with five saves in his past eight appearances, Rogers may be the slight favorite for ninth-inning opportunities moving forward.

Picks up save Friday Rogers notched the save Friday against the Cubs after tossing a scoreless inning.

Impact Rogers didn't allow a hit, walked anyone or struck out anyone, but he still got the job done after retiring the side in order with three straight groundouts from Ian Happ, Sergio Alcantara and Rafael Ortega. He notched his seventh save of the campaign and has gone 7-for-10 in save chances so far.

Blows save, takes win Rogers (1-0) allowed three runs on three hits in one inning but earned the win Friday versus the Dodgers.

Impact Rogers gave up a game-tying three-run home run to Austin Barnes in the bottom of the ninth inning. It was just the second home run Rogers has given up in 27 appearances this year. He then got the win when San Francisco reclaimed the lead in the top of the 10th, and Jarlin Garcia was able to notch the save. Despite Friday's hiccup, Rogers has posted a 1.63 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 14:5 K:BB across 27.2 innings this season. He's seen more ninth-inning work than Jake McGee lately, but the back end of the Giants' bullpen is very much a committee situation.

Secures sixth save Rogers earned the save against Arizona on Wednesday by pitching a scoreless ninth inning. He allowed three hits and struck out one.

Impact Rogers walked a high wire in the ninth frame, allowing singles to three of the first four batters he faced before striking out Ketel Marte and retiring Eduardo Escobar on a groundout. The right-hander now has six saves on the campaign, and he appears to be in a true tandem closer role with Jake McGee (11 saves). Rogers has the overall better numbers, registering a minuscule 0.68 ERA and 0.90 WHIP on the season. He hasn't yet posted the strikeout numbers of a typical closer, however, fanning only 14 batters across 26.2 frames.
