Perfect for 19th save
Palencia earned the save in Friday's victory over the Angels, striking out two in a perfect ninth inning.
Analysis
The right-hander entered with a one-run lead and slammed the door on Los Angeles to secure his 19th save of the season. Palencia had allowed at least one run in four of his previous six outings, but Friday's performance was a clean rebound effort. On the year, the 25-year-old has been a steady force at the back end of Chicago's bullpen, posting a 1.93 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 51:14 K:BB across 46.2 innings.

Survives for 18th save
Palencia recorded the save in Wednesday's 4-3 win over Milwaukee, allowing one run on two hits and two walks in the ninth inning. He struck out two.
Analysis
Palencia allowed a run for the fourth time in his last seven outings, but he was able to hang on for save No. 18 on the year. The right-hander has a shaky 5.14 ERA in August, but his ERA still stands at an excellent 1.97 for the season over 45.2 innings. Palencia has blown just two saves all year, and he also sports a 1.01 WHIP and 49:14 K:BB through 44 appearances.

Secures 17th save
Palencia recorded his 17th save of the season in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Brewers, giving up a hit and a walk while striking out one in a scoreless ninth inning.
Analysis
The right-hander hit triple digits on the radar gun with nine of his 17 pitches (11 strikes), but it was a 90.5 mph slider that got William Contreras to ground into a game-ending double play. Palencia has had a bumpy beginning to August, allowing runs in three of his six appearances while blowing one of four save chances, but his job as the Cubs' closer is in no jeopardy. On the season, Palencia sports a 1.81 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 47:12 K:BB through 44.2 innings.
