Atlanta Braves closer Raisel Iglesias had a night to forget Sunday, allowing five runs in just two-thirds of an inning in a 9-2 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Iglesias came into the game in the ninth with the score tied but promptly allowed four hits and a walk while recording just two outs before exiting. It's been an excellent season for the veteran closer, but this comes at a very tough time for both the Braves and his fantasy managers. Still, on the whole, he has been one of the best relievers in baseball with his ERA at 1.87 and his WHIP at 0.72, even after this dismal appearance. He should be drafted as one of the first relievers off the board next season.
Atlanta Braves closer Raisel Iglesias threw a perfect ninth inning to preserve a 3-2 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday. Iglesias struck out all three batters he faced in this one, making easy work of one of the best lineups in baseball. The 34-year-old has been almost untouchable this year, going 27-for-29 in save opportunities while pitching to a microscopic 1.45 ERA and 0.62 WHIP. Iglesias hasn't allowed a run since June 16, a span of 23 IP. The veteran righty is one of the best closers in the game.
Atlanta Braves closer Raisel Iglesias continued his strong season by earning his 23rd save of the year in Thursday's victory against the Miami Marlins. The veteran worked a 1-2-3 inning with a strikeout in between to ground outs to secure the Braves their 59th victory. Even at age 34, Iglesias continues to be one of the best closers in the league with a 1.73 ERA and 8.42 K/9. Managers should continue to be satisfied with one the best closers in the league that is on a team that continues to give him plenty of opportunities to help managers.
