Gets third win Saturday Acevedo (3-2) secured the win in a victory over the Rangers on Saturday, allowing one run on two hits over 1.1 innings. He struck out one.

Impact Acevedo was called on for the second straight day in a tight game, and the veteran right-hander was able to deliver once again. While he wasn't anywhere near as sharp as during a Friday outing during which he was just one pitch away from an immaculate inning, Acevedo still was able to induce an inning-ending double play from Charlie Culberson with the bases loaded when he entered the game in the sixth inning. Acevedo did subsequently allow a seventh-inning RBI double to Marcus Semien, but that was the first time he'd been scored upon since July 6.

Gets second win Acevedo (2-2) recorded the win in the nightcap of a doubleheader against the Tigers on Thursday, firing a perfect sixth inning during which he recorded two strikeouts.

Impact Acevedo nearly walked away with an impeccable inning, as he needed just one pitch over the minimum nine to get his three outs and pounded eight of his offerings in for strikes. The razor-sharp showing was the latest in an extended stretch of strong pitching for Acevedo, who now boasts a 2-1 mark, 0.63 ERA, 0.63 WHIP and 10.7 K/9 across the 14.1 innings covering his last 14 appearances.

Secures 12th hold Saturday Acevedo recorded his 12th hold in a win over the Astros on Saturday, firing a scoreless seventh inning during which he recorded a strikeout.

Impact The right-hander fired all eight pitches he threw in his ultra-efficient frame for strikes, underscoring how locked in he was. Acevedo has now generated scoreless efforts in nine of his last 10 trips to the mound, posting a 1-1 record, six holds, an 0.87 ERA and an 0.68 WHIP across that sample of 10.1 innings.

Takes second loss Wednesday Acevedo (1-2) took the loss against the Blue Jays on Wednesday, allowing an earned run on a solo home run while also recording a strikeout over one inning.

Impact Acevedo threw 10 of his 15 pitches for strikes, but he failed to preserve a 1-1 tie when he allowed a 357-foot solo homer to Bo Bichette during his one frame. The blast turned out to be the game-winning hit and was the first run Acevedo had given up since June 15, a span of nine appearances.

Picks up win in relief Acevedo (1-1) earned the win Sunday against the Royals, allowing no runs on no hits while striking out one and walking none over one inning.

Impact Acevedo earned the win in relief after entering in the bottom of the seventh and throwing 10 of 14 pitches for strikes. He entered a one-run game and was able to protect the lead, inducing two groundouts and striking a batter out. It was Acevedo's first win of the season. The righty has yet to record a save this season.

Dominant for eighth hold Acevedo recorded his eighth hold in a win over the Royals on Sunday, recording three strikeouts over 1.1 scoreless innings.

Impact Acevedo's line and the fact he got 11 of his 17 pitches into the strike zone underscore how sharp he was in putting together his third scoreless effort in the last four appearances. The right-hander has mostly been very effective in a high-volume role that's already seen him log 30.2 innings across 31 appearances while posting a 3.82 ERA and 1.08 WHIP.

Scoreless appearance streak ends Acevedo allowed two earned runs on a walk and a hit batsman over one-third of an inning in a loss to the Red Sox on Friday.

Impact Tasked with keeping a two-run deficit from getting any bigger when he entered in the ninth inning, Acevedo got into immediate trouble by walking Bobby Dalbec and plunking Kevin Plawecki. He subsequently induced a lineout from Enrique Hernandez before exiting, but he was eventually charged with two runs when Sam Moll gave up hits that allowed both runners to cross the plate. The pair of runs represent the first Acevedo has been charged with since May 16, snapping a string of six shutout appearances.

Sixth hold in Tuesday's win Acevedo notched his sixth hold in a win over the Mariners on Tuesday, firing a scoreless two-thirds of an inning while issuing a walk.

Impact Acevedo fired eight of his 13 pitches for strikes en route to his third straight scoreless appearance. The right-hander has essentially picked up where he left off in a solid 10-appearance rookie stint in 2021 when he produced a 3.27 ERA and 1.18 WHIP, as he how carries 3.32 and 1.06 figures in those respective categories across 21 appearances this season.

Grabs fifth hold Tuesday Acevedo recorded his fifth hold during a win over the Tigers in the second game of a doubleheader Tuesday, firing a scoreless eighth inning during which he allowed one hit.

Impact Acevedo got through his one frame on 14 pitches despite allowing a baserunner, getting 10 of those offerings into the strike zone. The 27-year-old has now strung together five consecutive scoreless appearances after giving up two earned runs over an inning against the Guardians back on April 29.

Rebounds with two perfect frames Acevedo fired two perfect innings in a loss to the Rays on Monday, recording two strikeouts.

Impact The right-hander had just given up a pair of earned runs on three hits over an inning in his most recent appearance Friday against the Guardians, so Monday's impressive multi-inning outing was a welcome sight. Acevedo has been a largely reliable asset for manager Mark Kotsay this season, turning in scoreless efforts in eight of his 11 trips to the mound.

Gets fourth hold Acevedo was credited with his fourth hold in a win over the Giants on Wednesday, firing a perfect sixth inning.

Impact After starter Paul Blackburn gave the Athletics five scoreless frames, Acevedo followed up with a spotless inning of his own. The 27-year-old has rebounded nicely from his one poor outing of the season on April 16 against the Blue Jays to record four straight scoreless appearances.
