ROBERT SUAREZ NEWS

Crumbles in non-save situation Suarez (1-2) allowed five runs on five hits and struck out one over one-third of an inning to take the loss Saturday versus the Diamondbacks.

Impact Suarez was called upon to protect a four-run lead in the ninth inning, but he couldn't get the job done. He gave up three straight singles, then struck out Corbin Carroll before giving up an RBI single to Ketel Marte and a game-tying three-run triple to Gerlado Perdomo. Adrian Morejon allowed an inherited runner to score, and that was charged to Suarez, sending him to his first loss since his other five-run implosion of the year back on May 12 versus the Angels. Those account for two of the four appearances in which Suarez has been scored on. This outing inflated his ERA from 1.78 to 3.23. but he still has a sparkling 0.88 WHIP and 33:8 K:BB across 30.2 innings. He also has 21 saves in 23 chances, and as long as this kind of performance doesn't become the norm, Suarez's status as the Padres' closer is safe.

Second straight blown save Suarez blew his second straight save opportunity Thursday, surrendering one unearned run and two hits while striking out one in a 7-6 extra-innings loss to the Blue Jays.

Impact It's always tough to blame missed extra-inning save opportunities on a closer, especially when the free runner on second base to start the inning is the only one that scores, but it still goes in the book as Suarez's second blown save in a row. However, there should be no reason to sound the alarm on the 34-year-old. After picking up another strikeout Thursday, Suarez has struck out 22 batters in 20 innings. Plus, even after Thursday's blown save, the right-hander is 15-for-17 closing ball games, the second-most saves in MLB.

Rare implosion in first blown save Suarez (0-1) allowed five runs on a hit and four walks while striking out one over one-third of an inning, taking the loss and a blown save in Monday's 9-5 loss to the Angels.

Impact Suarez had been one of the most dominant closers in the majors prior to this outing. He threw just 16 of 33 pitches for strikes in the laborious outing, which saw him strike out the leadoff batter before allowing a hit and four straight walks. That left the bases loaded, and Alek Jacob gave up a grand slam to Taylor Ward to complete the Padres' bullpen collapse. Even with a five-run meltdown on his line, Suarez still has a 3.00 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 19:8 K:BB over 18 innings this season. He's also 15-for-16 in save chances. His status as San Diego's closer won't be called into question after just one bad outing.
