Takes loss Friday Barlow (2-2) allowed a run on three hits and a walk and struck out one in 1.1 innings, taking the loss Friday versus Oakland.

Impact The right-hander got through the eighth inning without trouble, but he was only able to get one out in the ninth before Elvis Andrus hit a walkoff single. Barlow hadn't allowed a run in his previous 12 innings across 11 outings before Friday's misstep. He's posted a 1.95 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, 46:14 K:BB, two saves and nine holds across 32.1 innings. He'll likely continue to see high-leverage work out of the bullpen as one of Kansas City's most effective relievers.

Earns second save Barlow pitched two hitless innings, allowing one walk and striking out a pair to secure the save in Thursday's win over the Twins.

Impact Barlow earned the multi-inning save as he kept the one-run lead intact. This was an important outing for the 28-year-old, as the closing situation in Kansas City is becoming more fluid and Barlow could see increased opportunities to finish games. He primarily serves as the setup man and boasts a 1.86 ERA and a 13.3 K/9. He has clearly been the most consistent reliever in the Royals' bullpen and is deserving of a share of the team's save situations.

Notches ninth hold Barlow pitched 1.2 scoreless innings, allowing a walk with four strikeouts to earn a hold in Sunday's 6-3 win over Minnesota.

Impact The 28-year-old got the last two outs of the seventh inning after Kyle Zimmer walked a pair of batters. Barlow then worked around a walk of his own in the eighth. The right-hander is up to nine holds in 25 appearances this season. He's added a 2.00 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 41:12 K:BB in 27 innings as Kansas City's primary setup man, although he could get a look in save situations should Greg Holland falter while Josh Staumont (knee) is out.

Collects second win Barlow (2-1) allowed one walk and struck out two batters without allowing a run in two-thirds of an inning to earn the win Wednesday versus Milwaukee.

Impact Barlow notched the last two outs of the seventh inning and became the pitcher of record when Kansas City pulled ahead in the bottom of the seventh.

While he hasn't been the primary closer, he's logged one save, seven holds and a blown save in 21 appearances.

Logs hold Barlow pitched a scoreless eighth inning, allowing a hit and a walk with one strikeout to earn a hold in Saturday's 5-1 win over the White Sox.

Impact The right-hander pitched the eighth inning and was able to work around a couple of baserunners for his seventh hold of the year. Carlos Santana hit a solo shot in the ninth inning, which took away a save opportunity for Josh Staumont. Barlow has been solid with a 2.57 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 29:9 K:BB in 21 innings. He also has a save, a blown save and a 1-1 record across 19 appearances in a high-leverage role.

Handed loss Tuesday Barlow (1-1) allowed a run on a hit, a walk and a hit-by-pitch with two strikeouts in two-thirds of an inning. He took the loss Tuesday versus Detroit.

Impact Barlow's lack of control Tuesday led to Detroit getting two runners aboard. Robbie Grossman then tagged a walkoff single to stick Barlow with his first loss of the season. The right-hander owns a 2.84 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 25:8 K:BB across 19 innings this season. He's picked up one save, five holds and a blown save while frequently serving in a high-leverage role.

Earns hold Wednesday Barlow earned a hold with 1.1 perfect innings in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to Cleveland. He struck out two.

Impact Barlow was able to retire Harold Ramirez via groundout to end Cleveland's threat in the sixth inning. The 28-year-old Barlow then retired the side on 11 pitches in the seventh for his fifth hold of the season. Jakob Junis was charged with a blown save for allowing the game-tying home run to Jose Ramirez in the eighth inning. Barlow has been relatively effective with a 2.60 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 22:7 K:BB across 17.1 innings this season. He should continue to see mostly high-leverage work.

Barlow has picked up one save, one blown save and a win in 10 outings.
