Nabs win over Houston
Varland (4-4) picked up the win Wednesday, striking out one in a perfect ninth as the Blue Jays downed the Astros 5-4 in 10 innings.
Analyse
Called in to keep the game tied at 3-3, Varland fired 12 of 17 pitches for strikes and fanned Jeremy Pena to end the frame, before Ernie Clement launched a game-winning two-run homer in the top of the 10th. It was Varland's first win since June 9, but only because he's been so effective as the closer -- over 20 appearances and 22 innings since then he's converted all 13 of his save chances with a 2.05 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 28:6 K:BB.

Rare stumble in Sunday's loss
Varland (3-4) took the loss Sunday against the Cardinals, giving up four runs (one earned) on three hits and one walk in two-thirds of an inning. He didn't strike out a batter.
Analyse
The Blue Jays closer entered the game for the top of the ninth inning with the score tied 1-1, but Varland put the first three runners aboard on a free pass and two singles, before a two-out error by Luis Urias helped open the floodgates. It was the first time since June 13 that multiple runs, earned or otherwise, had been added to Varland's ledger, and he remains a perfect 24-for-24 on save chances this season with a 1.11 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 73:16 K:BB over 56.2 innings.

Secures 24th save
Varland earned the save in Friday's 3-1 win over the Cardinals, allowing one hit in a scoreless ninth inning. He did not record a walk or a strikeout.
Analyse
Varland was brought in for the save opportunity after the Blue Jays took a 3-1 lead in the eighth inning. He allowed a single to Masyn Winn but secured the save by getting both of the next two Cardinals batters out. He's converted all 24 of his save chances this season and has a 0.96 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 53:14 K:BB across 47 innings.
