Impact Suarez blew his last two save opportunities, but he got the call to come in for the ninth inning to protect the Padres' one-run lead.

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.

Puts out fire for 15th save Suarez picked up the save in Friday's 13-9 win over Colorado after recording the final two outs of the game.

Impact After falling into a 12-1 deficit earlier in the contest, the Rockies began to make things interesting by scoring seven runs in the final two innings. That prompted manager Mike Shildt to call upon his closer to put out the fire, and Suarez threw three pitches before getting Sean Bouchard to ground into a game-ending double play. The hard-throwing right-hander collected his MLB-leading 15th save Friday, and he now boasts a 0.51 ERA, 0.57 WHIP and 18:4 K:BB without a blown save over 17.2 innings.
