Blows another save Monday
Munoz blew the save Monday against Boston, allowing one run on one hit and no walks in 1.1 innings. He struck out three.
Analysis
It was a rare instance where Munoz was tasked with recording more than three outs, and he took his fourth blown save in his last 10 outings and ninth of the season. The hard-throwing right-hander endured a rough month of August, posting a 5.56 ERA with five saves in nine chances covering 11 appearances, so he's certainly testing Seattle's trust with him in its closer role.

Collects 24th save Tuesday
Munoz walked two and struck out two over a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 4-1 win over Philadelphia.
Analysis
Munoz made things interesting by issuing a pair of walks while protecting a three-run advantage, but he prevented Philadelphia from capitalizing and closed the game with a strikeout of Bryan De La Cruz. The right-hander converted his 24th save in 32 opportunities, though his 4.28 ERA remains unusually high compared to his previous work as Seattle's closer.
