Earns first save Abreu allowed a hit in a scoreless inning and earned a save over Baltimore on Friday.

Impact Abreu worked around a two-out single to close out the chaotic 14-11 victory. It was his first save of the year and he extended his scoreless streak to 8.2 innings. After allowing six runs in 5.2 innings to begin his season, Abreu has yielded just five runs in his last 32 appearances, lowering his season ERA to 2.58. Josh Hader seemingly received a routine day off after earning back-to-back saves against the White Sox on Wednesday and Thursday.

Abreu has been a crucial part of Houston's bullpen during its postseason run, surrendering just one run over 6.1 innings while racking up 11 strikeouts.

Snags third save Abreu struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Athletics.

Impact Abreu was entrusted with closing duties Sunday as Ryan Pressly was likely still recovering from pitching three days in a row (Wednesday thru Friday).

He's been busy in July, making 10 appearances spanning 9.1 innings while picking up four holds, a blown save and a win. The setup man has a 2.66 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 71:19 K:BB through 47.1 innings this season, and he's added 17 holds on the year.
