Earns win despite blown save
Akin (4-2) earned the win despite blowing a save against the Mariners on Wednesday, retiring both batters he faced while allowing one inherited run to score in the ninth inning.
Analysis
The southpaw was summoned to face lefty Dominic Canzone with one out and the tying run on third in the ninth after Yennier Cano struggled to start the frame. Akin recorded two outs on just two pitches but was ultimately charged with a blown save when Canzone tied the game on a sacrifice fly. While Cano's usage to start the inning suggests interim manager Tony Mansolino is willing to play late-game matchups, Akin owns a 3.50 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 43:23 K:BB across 43.2 innings and should remain the favorite for save opportunities with Felix Bautista (shoulder) sidelined for the remainder of the season.

Stuck with loss, blown save
Akin (3-2) took the loss and a blown save in Sunday's 3-2 defeat to the A's. He allowed two runs on two hits and a walk while striking out two in the ninth inning.
Analysis
Akin had converted his previous two save chances, allowing just one earned run over four innings in the absence of Felix Bautista (shoulder). Overall, the southpaw Akin sports a 3.56 ERA with a 1.47 WHIP and 43:23 K:BB across 43 innings. Despite the hiccup Sunday, Akin should remain Baltimore's primary ninth-inning option for the time being.

Earns second save
Akin earned the save in Friday's 3-2 win over the Athletics, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.
Analysis
Akin was summoned to protect a one-run lead in the ninth and needed just 11 pitches to seal the win. Since returning from a shoulder injury, the southpaw has logged four scoreless outings in five appearances while converting both of his save chances. He owns a 3.21 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 41:22 K:BB with two saves and 12 holds across 42 innings and may be emerging as the Orioles' top option for save opportunities.
