HANSEL ROBLES NEWS

Melts down versus former team Robles (3-5) allowed five runs (four earned) on three hits and a hit batter while striking out one in one inning, taking the loss versus Minnesota on Wednesday.

Robles had stabilized with a six-inning scoreless streak entering Wednesday, but it came to a jarring halt in his first loss with Boston. The 31-year-old now has a 5.47 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 57:32 K:BB across 54.1 innings between Boston and Minnesota.

Picks up spare save Robles struck out two and did not allow a baserunner in one inning of scoreless work to earn the save Tuesday against Minnesota.

Impact Matt Barnes began the ninth inning staked to a three-run lead. However, he surrendered a solo home run and two walks to the three batters he faced prior to being pulled in favor of Robles. With the winning run at the plate, Robles proceeded to strike out the first two batters he faced before inducing a game-ending groundout. After a rocky start to his tenure in Boston, Robles has now turned in six consecutive scoreless appearances. Barnes is in the midst of a lengthy slump on the mound, so it's possible that Robles begins to see some save opportunities.

Makes team debut Robles (illness) worked around a base hit to turn in a scoreless sixth inning Sunday in Boston's 3-2 loss to Tampa Bay.

Impact Before the Red Sox acquired him from the Twins on Friday, Robles had exited early in his final relief appearance with Minnesota after experiencing dizziness. The right-hander was apparently able to make a swift recovery, and he was able to make his Boston debut Sunday without issue. He needed only seven pitches to retire the side in the bottom of the sixth.

Moving to Red Sox Robles (illness) was acquired by Boston from Minnesota in exchange for Alex Scherff on Friday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Robles hasn't pitched since Tuesday when he surrendered four runs before exiting with dizziness and lightheadedness, but he's apparently healthy enough to pass a physical. The 30-year-old was in the closer's mix with the Twins but is unlikely to see those chances for the Red Sox with a 4.91 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 43:24 K:BB in 45 appearances this year.

Exits due to dizziness Robles was removed from Tuesday's loss to the Tigers since he was dizzy and lightheaded, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Impact Robles struggled before exiting the contest, giving up four runs on three hits and a walk while recording two outs. Manager Rocco Baldelli believed the right-hander's issues were related to the heat, so his outlook shouldn't be affected much going forward. Robles is Minnesota's top option for saves after Taylor Rogers (finger) landed on the injured list earlier Tuesday.

Implodes in ninth Robles allowed four earned runs on three hits and one walk across two-thirds of an inning Tuesday against the Tigers.

Impact Robles came into the game in the ninth inning with the Twins up by four. Though he retired the first batter he faced, Robles went on to allow a single, double and walk before surrendering the game-tying grand slam to Eric Haase. With Taylor Rogers (finger) sidelined, Robles is projected to see the majority of save chances for the Twins. While Tuesday's performance may not be enough to change that, he'll need to get back on track quickly to remain the primary closer.

Notches five-out save Robles allowed one hit over 1.2 scoreless innings, striking out two and earning a save over the Tigers on Friday.

Impact Robles worked around a two-out single in the ninth inning to finish off his ninth save of the season. He's picked up a save in each of his last two outings after he was crushed for a combined eight runs in his previous four appearances. He's converted nine of his 11 save chances this season with a 4.19 ERA.

Racks up eighth save Robles gave up a hit and a walk in a scoreless ninth inning Monday to record his eighth save of the season in an 8-5 win over the White Sox.

Impact Taylor Rogers was dominant in front of him, striking out four of the five batters he faced, but Robles didn't drop the baton in the ninth despite a far less impressive effort. The right-hander had been tagged for eight runs in 3.1 innings over his last four appearances, so any clean result was encouraging. On the season, Robles has a 4.38 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 36:22 K:BB through 37 innings, and he'll remain part of Minnesota's closer mix until the team finds a better option from the right side to complement Rogers.
