Colome blew a save after giving up one run over 1.1 innings in the loss against the Yankees on Monday. He gave up one hit and stuck out four.
EDGE Analysis
The closer was called upon to protect a three-run lead while inheriting two runners on base. He surrendered a game-tying three-run homer to Aaron Judge before striking out the final four batters he faced. It was the 32-year-old's first blown save since Aug. 25. Colome hadn't given up a run in his last eight outings while posting a 1.00 WHIP and converting six saves over that stretch.

Colome allowed a hit in a scoreless ninth inning and earned a save over Detroit on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Colome found himself in a two-out jam after a single and his throwing error put runners on first and third. He managed to wiggle out and earn his third save in the last four days. He's now 10-for-16 in save opportunities with a 4.26 ERA through 50.2 innings. Colome has a secure grasp on the closer role with Taylor Rogers (finger) on the injured list and could continue seeing some ninth-inning work when he returns.

Colome allowed one hit and one walk but no runs over an inning of work Saturday night, picking up his ninth save in the Twins' 6-4 win over the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
After picking up the save Friday against the Brewers, Colome was called upon again to handle the ninth on Saturday night. The right-hander got Lorenzo Cain to ground out before walking Pablo Reyes and allowing a single to Omar Narvaez that put the tying run on first base. Fortunately for both fantasy managers and the Twins, the 32-year-old induced a double play from Jace Peterson to end the game. With Taylor Rogers still on the injured list with a sprained left middle finger, Colome figures to see the bulk of the Twins' save opportunities.

EDGE Analysis
Colome quickly worked a perfect ninth inning Friday, throwing 10-of-13 pitches for strikes and earning his eighth save of the year.

Colome (4-4) allowed two runs on three hits and a walk while striking out one in one inning, taking a blown save and earning the win Wednesday versus Boston.
EDGE Analysis
The runs on Colome's ledger came from a game-tying, two-run home run by Kyle Schwarber in the ninth inning. Minnesota then took a massive lead in the 10th, and Colome ended up getting the win as a consolation prize. The right-hander has blown a save chance in each of his last two outings, allowing four runs across two innings in that span. He now has a 4.53 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 39:20 K:BB while adding seven saves, six blown saves and five holds in 47.2 innings this year.

Colome had his fifth blown save chance in Wednesday's win over Cleveland. He gave up two runs on two hits and a walk after taking a lead into the ninth inning. The Twins would later win in extra innings.
EDGE Analysis
Colome had been on a nice run with five saves and a win over 8.1 scoreless innings before this outing. He'll likely remain in the closer role despite this setback with the Twins having few proven options to close games with Taylor Rogers (finger) still sidelined.

Colome threw a scoreless ninth inning to earn a win (moving to 3-4) in Sunday's victory over Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
Colome has turned his season around since inheriting the closer role after the trade deadline. He's thrown 6.1 scoreless innings with just two walks and no home runs since Aug. 3, amassing five saves and a win. He only has two strikeouts over that stretch, but he's reduced his walk and had better command.
