Picks up third save
Latz struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Friday to record his third save of the season in a 5-4 win over the Tigers.
Analiz
The lefty produced his seventh straight appearance without allowing a run as he works his way to the top of the pecking order in the Rangers' bullpen. Latz has the team's last three saves dating back to April 25, and on the season he sports a 1.02 ERA, 0.45 WHIP and 15:3 K:BB through 17.2 innings. Latz doesn't have the premium stuff of a typical closer, but as long as he's getting the job done, manager Skip Schumaker will stick with him.

Logs two-inning save
Latz earned the save in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Yankees, allowing a hit while striking out one across two scoreless innings.
Analiz
Latz now has saves in back-to-back appearances, his first two of the season. The southpaw has been excellent of late, holding opponents scoreless in his last six outings (6.1 innings), allowing just two hits and no walks in that span. Latz's ERA sits at 1.08 on the year with a 0.48 WHIP and 14:3 K:BB across 16.2 innings as he's established himself as one of the Rangers' go-to late-inning arms. Texas' closer situation remains a firm committee, with Latz, Jakob Junis and Tyler Alexander all having recorded multiple saves while Cole Winn is also in the mix.

Secures first save
Latz earned the save in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Athletics, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.
Analiz
Latz was called upon to protect a one-run lead in the ninth inning and did so on 14 pitches. Jakob Junis, who had appeared to be the Rangers' preferred option for saves, was used in the eighth. The 30-year-old Latz owns a 1.23 ERA, 0.48 WHIP and 13:3 K:BB across 14.2 innings with one save and two holds, and it appears manager Skip Schumaker will operate with a ninth-inning committee for the time being.
