Blows save against Texas Rogers was credited with a blown save Tuesday against the Rangers. He allowed two runs (one earned) on two hits while striking out one across 1.1 innings.

Impact Rogers entered the game with four outs left to close the game out but failed to accomplish that goal, as he struck out Joey Gallo to end the eighth but later surrendered two runs in the top of the ninth. This was Rogers' second blown save of the season and he's now gone 2-for-4 in save chances while also allowing two earned runs in each of his past two appearances.

Struggles to secure second save Rogers picked up the save after allowing two runs on two hits while striking out one in one inning Monday against the Rangers.

Impact Rogers made the ballgame interesting by giving up a single and a two-run homer before fanning the final batter to nail down a 6-5 victory. Monday marked the first time he's allowed a run on the season, boosting his ERA to 1.74 with 12 strikeouts across 10.1 innings. Rogers has also converted on two of three save opportunities in 2021.

Next up in Minnesota With Alex Colome reportedly moving to a lower-leverage role, Rogers is seemingly poised to serve as Minnesota's closer for the time being.

Impact Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports that Colome will move to a lower-leverage role after giving up 10 hits and six earned runs over his last four innings while converting just 40 percent of his save chances on the season. Meanwhile, Rogers has given up zero earned runs while striking out 11 over 9.1 innings.

Earns first save Rogers struck out one batter over a perfect 0.2 innings while picking up a save over the Pirates on Friday.

Impact Rogers came into a 2-0 game and quickly finished off the last two Pirates to preserve the win. The 30-year-old southpaw owns a perfect ERA and 10:1 K:BB over 8.1 frames. He has one save and three holds on the year.

Records third hold of 2021 Rogers pitched 2.1 scoreless innings, allowing two hits, striking out three and earning the hold in Wednesday's 13-12, extra-innings loss to Oakland.

Impact The lefty has yet to allow an earned run through six appearances in 2021, having struck out nine and walking only one. Rogers has been a reliable option in Minnesota's bullpen since 2016 and he figures to pitch in even more high-leverage situations going forward amidst closer Alex Colome and reliever Hansel Robles' struggles. At an average velocity of 95.2 MPH, the sidearmer is throwing his sinker harder than ever and appears well on his way to a dominant 2021 campaign.

Impact It was only one game, but Rogers was used earlier in the game to face key left-handed batters while Alex Colome was used in the ninth inning with a three-run lead. Colome blew the save chance, so performance could dictate save opportunities more than anything, but for now it looks like Colome may get the majority of save chances even without Baldelli defining any roles.

Impact Rogers has led the Twins in saves the past two seasons, but he could be the secondary option to finish the ninth inning after the Twins signed Alex Colome in free agency. Rogers could still share save chances as Baldelli has ignored traditional closer patterns. However, Rogers may be used more frequently earlier in games to face key lefties.
