Bard picked up the save Sunday against the Rockies after tossing two scoreless innings, allowing two hits and striking out two.

EDGE Analysis

Bard notched his seventh save of the season, but it was an odd one for the right-hander -- it was his first two-out save of the campaign. He's gone 5-for-6 in save chances since the start of May and has also gone six straight appearances without allowing a run.

Bard fired a perfect ninth inning, striking out two to earn the save in the win over the Rangers on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Bard retired the side to end Wednesday's game and he's now 6-for-9 in save opportunities. The 36-year-old has a 4.09 ERA and a 1.55 WHIP in 22 innings. Those aren't the numbers you'd typically want from a closer, but the lowly Rockies don't have many options. He will receive the majority of Colorado's save chances, but those situations will be limited. On a good note, he has struck out multiple batters in his last six appearances.

Bard (3-3) allowed no hits and one walk while striking out three in two scoreless innings to earn the win against the Pirates on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Bard hasn't pitched since May 23, but he entered Sunday's game in the eighth inning with the Rockies trailing by one run. He earned his third win of the year after Colorado put two runs on the board in the top of the ninth. Bard has turned things around recently and has allowed just two runs (one earned) while striking out 14 in 10 innings across hit last eight appearances.

Bard recorded the save during Saturday's 7-6 win over the Diamondbacks with two strikeouts and one hit allowed during a scoreless ninth inning.

EDGE Analysis

The 35-year-old appeared to be in trouble after giving up a leadoff double to David Peralta to put the tying run in scoring position, but he retired the next three hitters via two strikeouts and a foul popup. Bard has converted five of eight save chances with a 5.29 ERA, 1.82 WHIP and 21:8 K:BB across 17 innings, though he's given up only one earned run in his past seven outings.

Bard worked around a walk to throw a scoreless ninth inning and earn the save against the Reds on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Eugenio Suarez's two-run homer in the eighth inning created a save situation for Bard and the right-hander got the job done on 12 pitches. Bard has shut the door four times for Colorado, but he also has three blown saves and a 6.59 ERA. Clearly, he's still the No. 1 closer option, but Bard should be considered on thin ice in the role indefinitely.

Bard gave up an unearned run with two strikeouts and two walks during the ninth inning to record the save Wednesday versus San Francisco.

EDGE Analysis

The 35-year-old walked the first two batters he faced, and he allowed an unearned run when catcher Dom Nunez committed a throwing error while attempting to foil a stolen base attempt. Bard picked up the save without surrendering an earned run, but it's hardly an encouraging performance as he threw only 15 of 30 pitches for strikes. He's converted three of five save chances and has an 8.10 ERA, 2.30 WHIP and 13:7 K:BB through 10 innings this season.

Bard (1-2) recorded just one out in the eighth inning while allowing four earned runs on four hits and one walk to take the loss against the Diamondbacks on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Bard was hit hard in eighth, allowing five batters to reach safely, including three extra base hits in a row. The 36-year-old's ERA has inflated to an even 9.00. He has allowed at least one run in five of his last six relief appearances.

Bard (1-1) allowed one earned run on one hit and one walk while striking out none to blow the save Tuesday against the Giants. He was credited with the win.

EDGE Analysis

The Rockies took a one-run lead in the top of the ninth inning on a Garrett Hampson home run. However, Bard surrendered a solo homer of his own in the bottom of the inning to blow his second consecutive save chance. After starting the season with four scoreless outings, Bard has now allowed five earned runs across his last five appearances. This stumble likely isn't enough to cost him the closer job, but he'll need to correct his results quickly.

Bard (0-1) took the loss in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Mets, giving up two runs on four hits in the seventh inning to blow his first save of the season. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander got tagged for four straight hits to lead off the final frame, and while Bard did regain his focus and shut the Mets down after that, the damage was done. After Saturday's hiccup he sports a 4.76 ERA, but Bard's 9:3 K:B through 5.2 innings is right in line with last year's impressive comeback.

Bard picked up a two-out save with one strikeout against the Diamondbacks on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Bard was summoned in the ninth inning to put a halt to the Arizona rally with two runners on and one out after they scored a pair of runs on a homer by Eduardo Escobar. The 35-year-old cleaned things up with ease, sending Josh Rojas down on strikes before forcing Tim Locastro to ground out for the final out of the game. The save was the second of the year for Bard in four appearances for the Rockies.
