Grabs 26th save
Latz earned the save Sunday against the Angels, allowing one hit and issuing one walk while striking out two over a scoreless ninth inning.
Análisis
Latz was unsurprisingly called upon to protect a two-run lead in the ninth but immediately ran into trouble when Christian Moore lined a leadoff double. Mike Trout was intentionally walked later in the frame, bringing the winning run to the plate, but Latz escaped the threat to secure his 26th save. The left-hander hasn't allowed a run over his last eight innings, collecting five saves with a 13:6 K:BB during that span. Latz owns an excellent 1.68 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and 65:18 K:BB across 59 innings this season.

Picks up save No. 25
Latz earned a save against the Nationals on Thursday, walking one batter and striking out three in a scoreless inning of work.
Análisis
Latz inherited a two-run lead when he entered in the ninth frame and worked around a one-out walk to finish off the shutout. Outside of the batter he walked, Latz needed just 10 pitches to strike out three hitters, and five of his 16 total pitches were whiffs. The 30-year-old entered 2026 with just one career MLB save to his name, but Latz has emerged as one of MLB's top closers this season, converting 25 of 28 save opportunities while posting a 1.74 ERA, 0.74 WHIP and 61:16 K:BB over 57 innings spanning 45 appearances.
