Grabs fifth win Petit (5-0) was credited with the victory in a win over the Astros on Tuesday, firing a perfect ninth inning during which he recorded two strikeouts.

Impact Following an uncharacteristically shaky outing that nevertheless netted him his sixth hold of the season in his most recent appearance against the Twins on Saturday, Petit bounced right back with Tuesday's stellar effort. The veteran reliever is already within just two wins of tying his career-high mark of seven established back in 2018, with Tuesday's victory coming as a result of Ramon Laureano's game-winning sacrifice fly in the home half of the ninth.

Poor effort for sixth hold Petit recorded his sixth hold in a loss to the Twins on Saturday despite being charged with three earned runs on two hits and two walks across one inning.

Impact The veteran reliever put together an uncharacteristically poor effort, but because what turned out to be the winning run went on Jake Diekman's ledger, Petit was still credited with the hold in the team's loss. The 36-year-old's location was unusually poor, as he issued multiple walks for the first time all season and got just 10 of his 19 pitches into the strike zone. Nevertheless, Petit continues to be an above-average asset in formats that count holds due to his typically reliable performances and ability to log a heavy volume of appearances.

Notches first save Petit pitched a perfect inning and struck out one batter against Toronto on Tuesday to earn a save.

Impact Petit has been nearly impossible to score upon this season, so he was rewarded with a save opportunity in a three-run game Tuesday. The right-hander responded by setting down the Blue Jays in order to close out the contest. The outing lowered Petit's ERA to 0.98 on the season to go along with a 0.87 WHIP and 12:3 K:BB across 18.1 innings. He also has four wins and three holds, and he could see more save opportunities moving forward given his success Tuesday.
