Pitches scoreless eighth inning Iglesias earned a hold after striking out two in a scoreless eighth inning against the Twins on Friday. He allowed one hit.
Impact Manager David Bell was operating as if this were a playoff game, and he would have gone to Iglesias for a second inning if the Reds had not tacked on three more runs in the top of the ninth to make it 7-2. With a more comfortable lead, Bell decided to bring in Wade Miley to finish out the game. Iglesias had a bit of a rocky start to the season, but he's been excellent since and now has a 2.93 ERA to go along with eight saves.

Shuts door for eighth save Iglesias earned save No. 8 with a perfect inning against the Pirates on Wednesday. He struck out one batter.
Impact Iglesias retired the side on seven pitches, preserving the shutout after Luis Castillo and Archie Bradley combined for eight scoreless innings. After a few early stumbles, Iglesias has been lights out with just one earned run allowed in his last 11 appearances, going 6-for-7 in save chances in that span.

Converts two-inning save Iglesias threw two scoreless innings against the Cardinals on Sunday, allowing one walk while striking out three en route to his seventh save of the season.
Impact Iglesias retired the side in order in the eighth with the Reds leading 8-5, and he finished the game out after Cincinnati padded its lead with two more runs in the top of the ninth. With that, Iglesias helped snapped an 0-3-6 skid for the team in its last nine series. He's clearly still the closer even with Archie Bradley now in town.

Perfect inning for save Iglesias pitched a perfect ninth inning to earn the save in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Cubs.
Impact Iglesias got groundouts from Willson Contreras and Anthony Rizzo before a popout by Javier Baez ended the contest. The 30-year-old Iglesias had blown a save his last time out, so it's encouraging to see him put together a clean inning. He has a 4.11 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and six saves in eight tries this year.

Blows save in Sunday's loss Iglesias allowed two runs, one earned, in Sunday's loss to the Pirates. He was asked to get five outs and came up one short, allowing three hits.
Impact Manager David Bell had a quick hook with Michael Lorenzen in the eighth inning, pulling him with one out and two on after only six pitches, hoping that Iglesias could take care of the final five outs. He got out of the eighth inning fine, but gave up three singles to begin the ninth to tie the game, and then a sacrifice fly to end the game. Archie Bradley was warming up in the ninth but never called upon. With the Reds off Monday, Iglesias will probably still get the next save chance.

Picks up fifth save Iglesias tossed one scoreless inning Friday as he earned the save in Game 1 of the doubleheader against the Pirates. He allowed one hit and no walks while striking out one.
Impact Iglesias got off to a rocky start this season, but he's been more consistent recently as he hasn't allowed an earned run in each of his past six outings. The right-hander now carries a 4.15 ERA and has converted on five of his six save chances this year.

Notches second victory Iglesias (2-2) recorded the win Wednesday against the Cardinals after allowing one hit with two walks and two strikeouts over 1.1 scoreless innings.
Impact The 30-year-old entered during the eighth in a 3-3 tie and stranded a runner, and he was able to work through some trouble in the top of the ninth to give the Reds a chance to get the walkoff victory, which they did. Iglesias has a 4.50 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 17:4 K:BB over 12 innings while converting four of five save chances, and he's set to remain the team's closer despite the acquisition of Archie Bradley earlier this week.

Impact Bell is the rare manager that gave us a pretty clear idea of where this is going. "I don't see anything changing with Iggy's role," Bell said. "This is truthfully how I see it. Like, we're winning a lot of games, other guys are going to get an opportunity to close games. We need to get the lead and challenge our bullpen, because we're set up for it. We're set up to do really well with it. I'm not getting too caught up or concerned with particular roles. But with Iggy, nothing's going to change for him." The only way this might change is if Iglesias suffers a badly blown save or two, but for now he's solid.

Records fourth save Iglesias recorded the final two outs of Friday's game against the Cubs to earn his fourth save of the season.
Impact Robert Stephenson forced Iglesias to get loose (a second time) by allowing three runs in the ninth to make it a one-run game. Iglesias put out the fire on six pitches, and with that, is now 4-for-5 in save chances this year. There have been bumps in the road over the past two seasons, but the Reds have stuck by Iglesias through the tough times. Barring a trade, he'll remain locked into the closer role for the foreseeable future.
