Estevez struck out one batter in a scoreless inning to earn a save over Cleveland on Friday. He allowed two hits and a walk.

EDGE Analysis

Estevez was cruising through one of his usual easy innings before putting three straight Guardians on base with two outs. He extinguished the fire by punching out Will Brennan and finishing the 5-4 win. Estevez lowered his ERA to 0.96 with a 24:7 K:BB and nine saves.

Estevez earned a save over the Astros on Monday with a perfect inning that included one strikeout.

EDGE Analysis

Estevez inherited a two-run lead when he took the mound in the ninth, and he retired the side in order on 14 pitches. The right-hander extended his stretch of outings without allowing a run to 10, and he's earned six saves while posting a 14:2 K:BB and yielding just two hits over 10.2 frames over that span. Estevez had a rough spring training and was sharing save opportunities with Jose Quijada (elbow) early in the campaign, but he's firmly cemented his hold on the closer role with the dominant stretch.

Estevez (1-1) earned the extra-inning win Friday, allowing one walk and striking out two over one inning versus the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Estevez did his job in the top of the 10th inning, and the Angels' offense rewarded him with a walkoff win. This was his ninth consecutive scoreless appearance, a span in which he has a 13:2 K:BB with only two hits allowed in 9.2 innings. He's at a 1.08 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, 22:7 K:BB, seven saves and two holds through 16.2 innings. Those strong numbers have helped the right-hander earn at least a primary share of save chances, and he should have a little more stability in the role with Jose Quijada (elbow) set for Tommy John surgery.

Estevez picked up the save Wednesday against the Cardinals. He struck out two over a perfect inning.

EDGE Analysis

Estevez is now tied for fourth in MLB in saves. The right-hander also hasn't allowed a run over his last eight outings, and sports a 0.96 WHIP. The former Rockie is easily one of the better closers in the league at this point.

Estevez picked up the save during Sunday's 3-0 win over the Brewers, tossing a perfect ninth inning while striking out two.

EDGE Analysis

Estevez entered with a a three-run lead and retired William Contreras, Brian Anderson and Rowdy Tellez in order, including back-to-back strikeouts to start the frame. The right-hander is a perfect 6-for-6 in save opportunities and is currently the Angels' top closer with Jose Quijada (elbow) and Ryan Tepera (shoulder) on the injured list.

Estevez earned a save over the Athletics on Thursday, allowing one hit and striking out two batters over a scoreless inning.

EDGE Analysis

Estevez gave up a two-out single but managed to preserve Los Angeles' one-run, ninth-inning lead to notch his fifth save of the campaign. Three of those have come in the past five days as the right-hander appears to have taken control of the closer role for the Angels. Jose Quijada appeared to have at least an even split of those duties by racking up four saves and a 0.00 ERA through April 21, but he's fallen off in his past two appearances, allowing seven runs (six earned) across one inning.

Estevez picked up his fourth save of the season Tuesday against the Athletics. He struck out a batter and did not give up a hit over 1.2 innings of work.

EDGE Analysis

Tuesday was Estevez's first outing of more than an inning. He needed just 17 pitches to navigate through five batters and secure the save. The 30-year-old has bounced back thus far after a rough showing during spring training and has a 1.54 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and a 12:6 K:BB over 11.2 innings. He appears to be atop the pecking order for saves in front of Jose Quijada, who recently just was lit up against the Royals on Saturday.

Estevez picked up the save in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Royals with a perfect inning.

EDGE Analysis

Estevez picked up his third save of the season Sunday, retiring all three batters he faced on just six total pitches. He has allowed just one hit and no runs in his last three appearances combined.

Estevez earned the save Monday against the Red Sox, allowing one run on two hits while recording two strikeouts.

EDGE Analysis

Estevez entered in the ninth inning and shut the door in a nail-biting finale to the series. The 30-year-old struck out Jarren Duran before giving up a run on a Rafael Devers RBI single; however, Estevez remained resilient and proceeded to strike out Rob Refsnyder before getting Masataka Yoshida to pop out to end the game. Estevez secured his second save of the season and owns a 2.57 ERA with nine strikeouts through seven innings this season.

Estevez earned the save Tuesday against the Nationals after he fired a scoreless ninth inning, allowing no hits and one walk with no strikeouts.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander issued a one-out walk but was otherwise able to close out the save with minimal fanfare. Estevez and Jose Quijada now each have one save apiece for the Angels, with Jimmy Herget also in the mix for the closer role. Tucker Davidson also has a save this season, but he pitched four frames in that outing and should continue to serve as a long reliever.
