Allows run in third save Robles recorded the save Wednesday against the Orioles after allowing one run on two hits with zero strikeouts and zero walks during the ninth inning.

Impact The right-hander surrendered a leadoff double to Trey Mancini, and he came around to score on Maikel Franco's two-out double. Robles has three saves in five chances and also has eight holds, so he's clearly established himself as a high-leverage piece for manager Rocco Baldelli. Taylor Rogers picked up the save Tuesday and should continue to operate as the primary closer, but Robles is now in the mix for ninth-inning opportunities.

Earns win but blows save Robles (1-1) blew a save but still earned the win Sunday against Cleveland after giving up a run on a hit and a walk while fanning one across one inning.

Impact Robles pitched the ninth inning and was unable to hold a one-run lead, as he gave up the game-tying run through a sacrifice bunt, but he was still credited with the win after the Twins added three runs in the top of the 10th. Robles owns a 1.74 ERA across 10.1 innings (10 appearances) this month.

Secures second save Robles pitched a 1-2-3 seventh with two strikeouts to save Thursday's 6-3 win over the Angels in Game 2 of a doubleheader.

Impact Robles quickly retired all three Angels batters to record his second save in the past week as Minnesota's closer carousel has spun in his favor lately. Robles, Alex Colome and Taylor Rogers now have two saves apiece, though it's important to note that Rogers pitched the sixth Thursday against the meat of Los Angeles' lineup.

Grabs first save Robles earned the save Saturday against the A's by recording two strikeouts and allowing one hit during the ninth inning.

Impact Closer Taylor Rogers has given up runs in three of his past four appearances, and Robles took advantage to convert his first save of the season. The right-hander has a 3.45 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 16:9 K:BB with seven holds over 15.2 innings this season, and he could receive more ninth-inning opportunities if he continues to pitch well.

Thriving in setup role Robles threw a scoreless inning in Sunday's loss to the Mariners. He's thrown 4.2 scoreless innings with six strikeouts and one walk this season.

Impact Robles was mentioned by Rocco Baldelli in spring training as a pitcher who could finish games, but he's been used in the seventh and eighth inning so far this season to set up Alex Colome. It's not a stretch to think he could figure into the closer mix if Colome continues to struggle, but he's not likely to finish games at the moment. At least Robles is showing so far that he may back to his 2019 form (2.48 ERA) after his 2020 struggles (10.26 ERA).

Reaches 96 mph in spring outing Robles gave up three runs (two earned) and four hits in one inning in Thursday's spring training loss to Tampa Bay, but reached 96 mph with his fastball, MLB.com reports.

Impact Robles' velocity declined to an average 95.5 mph fastball last season from 97.1 mph in 2019, so this could be a positive sign early in camp. Robles has been mentioned by Rocco Baldelli as a closer option, but he'll likely first need to prove he's back to the form that saw him post a 2.48 ERA and 1.9 BB/9 in 2019; he's coming off a 10.26 ERA and 5.4 BB/9 in 2020.
