Impact Harris was summoned to protect a two-run lead in the eighth inning and secure a four-out save, but he departed after allowing a game-tying single in the ninth. Elvis Alvarado replaced him and surrendered a walk-off single, with the run and loss charged to the 29-year-old Harris. It's been a rocky August for the southpaw, who's blown two of five save chances and yielded five earned runs through seven games this month. On the year, he owns 12 saves and 10 holds to go along with a 3.79 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 72:35 K:BB across 54.2 innings.

Locks down 12th save Harris struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Rangers.

Impact Harris looks to be pulling away with the closer job for the Athletics -- he's earned six saves since the All-Star break alone, while no one else on the team has more than four all year. It hasn't all been smooth lately, though this was his third scoreless outing in a row following a stretch in which he gave up five runs over 4.1 frames. Overall, Harris is at a 3.50 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 72:34 K:BB through 54 innings, and he has 12 saves in 17 chances and 10 holds to his name.

Secures 11th save Harris earned the save in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Red Sox, allowing one hit and one walk with one strikeout in a scoreless ninth inning.

Impact Harris was summoned after the Athletics took a one-run lead in the top of the ninth inning and stranded two baserunners to close the door. It marked back-to-back successful save chances for the 29-year-old, though he's yielded runs in three of his past five appearances. On the year, he owns a 3.63 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 70:34 K:BB across 52 innings to go along with 10 holds and 11 saves.

Collects save No. 10 Harris gave up a run on three hits and a walk over 1.1 innings Saturday to record his 10th save of the season in a 7-3 win over the Red Sox. He struck out two.

Impact The southpaw got the final out of the eighth inning with the tying run on deck and the A's ahead 6-2 to qualify for a save chance, but Harris created his own jam in the ninth and escaped a bases-loaded, two-out situation by getting Eli White to line out to center field. Harris has been tagged for at least one run in three of his last four appearances, inflating his ERA from 3.09 to 3.71, but his hold on the closer job appears fairly secure -- no other A's reliever has picked up a save since Mason Barnett on June 25.

Can't find plate in blown save Harris (3-1) blew the save and took the loss Tuesday, giving up two runs on three walks in two-thirds of an innings as the A's fell 5-4 to the Reds. He struck out one.

Impact Taking the mound for the eighth inning to preserve a 4-3 lead, Harris instead walked the first two batters he faced, then brought both home with two outs on a pair of wild pitches. It's the second time in his last three appearances that Harris has been tagged for multiple runs, while the blown save was his first since June 21 -- although had he gotten through the eighth, another reliever might have gotten the call in the ninth. The southpaw's nine saves leads the A's in 2026, but he's also got five blown saves on his ledger, and his job security as closer should be viewed as very low.

Survives shaky save chance Harris recorded his ninth save Tuesday against the Red Sox, allowing two runs on three hits while striking out three over 1.1 innings.

Impact Harris entered with a three-run lead in the eighth inning after Luis Medina left runners on the corners with two outs. He immediately allowed an RBI single to Wilyer Abreu before escaping the inning with a strikeout. The ninth proved even more eventful, as Harris gave up a single and a two-run homer to Connor Wong to trim the lead to one run before inducing a game-ending flyout. The two runs were his first allowed since the All-Star break. Harris has converted three saves over his last five appearances and owns a 3.38 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 65:38 K:BB with nine saves in 13 chances and 10 holds this season.

Picks up eighth save Harris hit one batsman and struck out one without allowing a hit or a walk in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Friday's 2-0 win over the Twins.

Impact Harris was ultimately able to erase his mistake when he got Brooks Lee to ground into a double play to end the game. This was Harris' eighth save of the season and his second in four appearances since the All-Star break, indicating he is pulling ahead in the Athletics' closing committee. The team's poor performance in July has left few save opportunities for any reliever. Harris has done his part this season with a 3.15 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 61:28 K:BB while adding eight saves in 12 chances and 10 holds.

Converts seventh save Harris allowed a hit and a walk while striking out three in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Monday's 5-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Harris hadn't converted a save since June 12, and he had blown his two most recent chances. Over his last eight outings, he's gotten back on track, giving up one run on five hits and four walks while adding 17 strikeouts. He has seven saves in 11 chances as well as 10 holds as he continues to fill a high-leverage role in the Athletics' late-inning committee. Harris has added a 3.30 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 60:28 K:BB through 43.2 innings, adding some tantalizing strikeout upside despite the obvious risks involved with his 5.8 BB/9 and a hitter-friendly home park.

Grabs four-out save Harris struck out two over 1.1 perfect innings to earn the save in Friday's 6-4 win over the Rockies.

Impact Harris took a blown save Monday versus the Brewers but bounced back to earn a hold Wednesday. He was able to get a save Friday with a sharp performance, his first clean outing since June 3. On the year, Harris has a 2.67 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 39:23 K:BB while adding six saves and 10 holds. His high-leverage role isn't in doubt, but the Athletics have used three different pitchers to get saves just this week. Harris' six saves lead the team, two ahead of Mark Leiter, who hasn't earned one since May 21.
