Tagged for homer in blown save Latz (3-3) allowed one run on one hit and struck out one without walking a batter over one inning to take the loss and a blown save in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Red Sox.

With six runs allowed (five earned) over his last 8.1 innings, Latz is limping to the finish line this season. He's 30-for-34 in save chances and has added three holds while pitching to a 2.11 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 77:22 K:BB through 68.1 innings.

This was his eighth consecutive outing without allowing a run while posting a 16:6 K:BB across 9.2 innings during that span.

Grabs 26th save Latz earned the save Sunday against the Angels, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out two over a scoreless ninth inning.

Impact Latz was unsurprisingly called upon to protect a two-run lead in the ninth but immediately ran into trouble when Christian Moore lined a leadoff double. Mike Trout was intentionally walked later in the frame, bringing the winning run to the plate, but Latz escaped the threat to secure his 26th save. The left-hander hasn't allowed a run over his last eight innings, collecting five saves with a 13:6 K:BB during that span.

Picks up save No. 25 Latz earned a save against the Nationals on Thursday, walking one batter and striking out three in a scoreless inning of work.

Impact Latz inherited a two-run lead when he entered in the ninth frame and worked around a one-out walk to finish off the shutout. Outside of the batter he walked, Latz needed just 10 pitches to strike out three hitters, and five of his 16 total pitches were whiffs. The 30-year-old entered 2026 with just one career MLB save to his name, but Latz has emerged as one of MLB's top closers this season, converting 25 of 28 save opportunities while posting a 1.74 ERA, 0.74 WHIP and 61:16 K:BB over 57 innings spanning 45 appearances.

He was sharp Saturday, protecting a one-run lead in the eighth inning before staying on for the ninth after the Rangers' offense gave him some extra cushion to work with. Latz has converted 24 of 27 save chances this season while posting a 1.77 ERA, 0.73 WHIP and 58:15 K:BB across 56 innings.
