Schreiber picked up the save Tuesday in Cincinnati, tossing two-thirds of an inning in a 5-3 win.
EDGE Analysis
Schreiber entered the game in the ninth inning with one out and the bases loaded and Boston leading 5-2. He allowed a sacrifice fly and then induced a groundout to end the game. It was his eighth save of the season and third in September. The 28-year-old has not allowed an earned run in his last 12 outings, spanning 11 innings while allowing just seven baserunners. He continues to be in the mix for save chances for the Red Sox.

Schreiber earned the save Sunday, striking out two in a perfect ninth inning in a 5-2 win over Texas.
EDGE Analysis
Schreiber ran the count full on two of the three hitters he faced but closed the door on Texas without anyone reaching base. It was his seventh save on the season and third since Aug. 27. Boston may not have a set closer at the moment but Schreiber and his 2.11 ERA and 0.89 WHIP is certainly someone manager Alex Cora trusts in important situations. The 28-year-old will likely continue to get a fair amount of save opportunities over the final month.

Schreiber picked up the save Saturday against the Rangers. He struck out one over two-thirds of a scoreless inning.
EDGE Analysis
Matt Barnes allowed singles to three of the first four batters he faced to open the ninth, prompting manager Alex Cora to make the switch to Schreiber, who got out of the jam on six pitches. Garrett Whitlock had previously worked the seventh and eighth innings. Schreiber has established himself as a key part of the late-inning mix in Boston (2.15 ERA) and could eventually separate himself from the pack.

Schreiber earned the save Saturday, allowing one walk and striking out one batter over a scoreless 1.1 innings in a 5-1 win over the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Schreiber put the kibosh on a Tampa Bay rally in the eighth inning, coming on with two runners on base and the potential tying run on deck. It was his fifth save, four of which have been converted by getting more than three outs. The Red Sox may have found something in the 28-year-old right-handed reliever, who has a 2.24 ERA and 0.88 WHIP over 52.1 innings. He's not expected to take over the closer's role, but Schreiber's in the mix along with Garrett Whitlock, who will likely get most of the opportunities.

Schreiber earned the save over the Orioles on Thursday, allowing one hit while striking out two batters over two scoreless innings.
EDGE Analysis
Schreiber threw 17 of 25 pitches for strikes in the outing and allowed just one baserunner on an infield single with two outs in the ninth inning. The right-hander picked up his fourth save of the season and his first in over a month. With Tanner Houck (back) on the injured list, Schreiber and Garrett Whitlock figure to be Boston's primary ninth-inning options for the time being.

Schreiber struck out one batter over 1.2 perfect innings and earned a save over the Rays on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Schreiber got some extra insurance from Boston's lineup in the eighth inning but he had no issue finishing off the 4-0 victory. He's riding a 14.2-inning scoreless streak since the start of June, lowering his season ERA to 0.66 with a 32:6 K:BB across 28 appearances. Monday's save was his third of the year and first since June 21.

Schreiber gave up a hit before recording the final out of Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Tigers to record his second save of the season.
EDGE Analysis
Matt Strahm got the call to begin the ninth inning with Boston protecting a two-run lead, but after Jonathan Schoop led off the frame with a solo shot, the lefty wasn't given the chance to earn the save, getting the hook with two outs and right-handed hitters Javier Baez and Miguel Cabrera waiting. Schreiber has reeled off 10 straight scoreless appearances while establishing himself as a high-leverage option for the Red Sox, posting a 1.04 WHIP and 11:4 K:BB through 8.2 innings over that stretch with seven holds, but he still remains behind Tanner Houck and Strahm in the pecking order for saves.

Schreiber struck out one over 1.1 scoreless innings to earn a hold in Wednesday's 1-0 win over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Schreiber was part of a resurgent Boston relief crew that limited the Angels to one hit over the final four innings. This was Schreiber's fourth consecutive scoreless appearance following an outing May 27, in which he was part of a bullpen meltdown. Even with that one outing Schreiber has pitched well this season, posting a 1.08 ERA and 0.66 WHIP with 18 strikeouts and three walks over 16.2 innings.

Schreiber allowed two runs on one hit and one walk while striking out one over two-thirds of an inning in Friday's 12-8 loss to Baltimore.
EDGE Analysis
Schreiber, who has pitched well out of the bullpen, was caught up in a meltdown. He recorded a hold in the outing, but he and three other relievers combined to allow 10 runs on 10 hits and three walks over the final three innings. The Red Sox have blown 12 of 20 save chances and the staff owns a 5.40 ERA in the eighth inning or later.

Schreiber notched a save Tuesday after he pitched two perfect innings, striking out three batters in the 9-4 win over the Braves.
EDGE Analysis
Schreiber entered the game in the bottom of the eighth inning when the Red Sox held a 6-4 lead, striking out one batter before returning the next inning and punching out two more on the way to his first career save. The 28-year-old has pitched 6.1 scoreless innings with a 0.47 WHIP and six strikeouts this season with the Red Sox while alternating between the big-leagues and Triple-A Worcester. His high level of production could lead to more opportunities out of the bullpen moving forward.
