Williams picked up the save Monday against the Mets, tossing a perfect ninth inning. He didn't record a strikeout.
EDGE Analysis
Williams retired Francisco Lindor, Pete Alonso and Daniel Vogelbach in order to record his 14th save. The right-hander is now 14-for-15 in save chances this season and sports elite numbers across the board (1.69 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 35:14 K:BB). The 28-year-old's career high for saves in a season is 15, which he set last year when he took over as the Brewers' full-time closer after the surprising trade of Josh Hader at the deadline.

EDGE Analysis
Williams was handed the ninth with the game tied and got the job done by sending the Guardian hitters down in order on 16 pitches. The Brewers wound up winning after taking the lead in the 10th, handing Williams his first win since May 13. The 26-year-old continues to be one of the more reliable closers in baseball. He's given up a run in just two of 26 appearances this year and sports a sparkling 1.75 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 35:14 K:BB over 25.2 innings.

Williams picked up the save in Sunday's 5-2 victory over the Pirates, striking out two over a perfect inning.
EDGE Analysis
Williams locked down back-to-back save chances versus Pittsburgh after blowing his first save of the season last week versus Minnesota. Overall, the right-hander boasts a 1.90 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 34:13 K:BB across 24 appearances (23.2 innings) and is 12-for-13 in save opportunities. Williams' career-high mark for saves is 15, which he set last year when he took over as the Brewers' full-time closer after the surprising trade of Josh Hader at the deadline. Williams remains an elite option, but he hasn't gotten enough opportunities this year to contend for the MLB lead in saves.

Williams (3-1) blew the save and took the loss Tuesday as the Brewers fell 7-5 to the Twins, failing to record an out and coughing up four runs on three hits and a walk.
EDGE Analysis
Two of the hits off Williams left the yard, including Carlos Correa's first career walk-off homer in the regular season. It's the first blown save of the year in 11 opportunities for the closer, who hadn't given up a run in his prior 10 appearances and saw his ERA jump more than one and a half runs as a result of this performance. Despite this stumble, Williams still sports a 2.08 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 30:11 K:BB through 21.2 innings.

Williams picked up the save during Saturday's 10-8 win over Cincinnati, tossing a scoreless inning in which he allowed zero hits and two walks while striking out three.
EDGE Analysis
Jake Cousins started the ninth with a four-run lead but allowed the first three batters to reach and failed to record an out, so Williams came on to finish the job. The closer's command was a bit shaky, but he still shut the door on Cincinnati's comeback by striking out the side. Williams is a perfect 10-for-10 in save opportunities this year and sports a 0.46 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 26:9 K:BB across 19 appearances (19.2 innings).

Williams picked up the save in Sunday's 7-5 victory over the Giants, tossing 1.1 hitless innings while striking out three and walking one.
EDGE Analysis
Williams made his first appearance in a week but didn't look rusty as he secured his eighth save. The right-hander has yet to blow a save this season and has given up a run in just one of his 16 appearances, which is good for a 0.54 ERA. Williams remains one of the elite closers in MLB, but the Brewers simply haven't been in enough close games yet to capitalize on his full potential.

Williams picked up the save in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Rays. He allowed two walks over 1.1 scoreless innings.
EDGE Analysis
Williams was forced to enter into the game in the eighth inning for the second straight time, coming in for Peter Strzelecki with a runner on first and second and two outs after the Brewers' lead was cut down to two. Though Williams walked his first batter and loaded the bases, he managed to retire Isaac Paredes to end the inning and made it through the ninth to convert his seventh save of the season in as many opportunities. After recording at least one strikeout in 11 of his last 12 appearances, Williams was unable to manage a single punchout in his 1.1 innings of action.
