Earns first win
Iglesias (1-2) earned the win in Sunday's extra-inning win over the Yankees, striking out two in a perfect ninth inning.
Analysis
Iglesias shut down the heart of the Yankees' order in the bottom of the ninth inning before Atlanta took the win in the 10th. It was a clutch effort after the veteran closer allowed two earned runs in back-to-back outings, including a blown save Friday. On the season, he's 24-for-27 in save chances with a 2.95 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 48:12 K:BB across 42.2 innings.

Blows save chance Friday
Iglesias took a blown save in Friday's 3-2 extra-inning loss to the Yankees, allowing two runs on three hits and one walk while striking out two across two-thirds of an inning.
Analysis
Neither team could score through the first seven innings of Friday's game, but Iglesias was brought in for the ninth to protect a two-run lead after solo home runs from Austin Riley and Matt Olson. Iglesias struck out two of the first three batters he faced, but he proceeded to allow the next three Yankees on base, including an RBI double from Austin Wells and an RBI single by Ben Rice, tying the game at 2-2. It was the third blown save chance of the season for Iglesias in 27 attempts, and he's given up two earned runs in both of his last two outings. He has a 3.02 ERA and 1.20 WHIP over 41.2 innings on the year.
