Pressley allowed two runs on three hits and one walk over one inning in Tuesday's 8-6 win over Seattle.
EDGE Analysis
It wasn't a save situation for Pressly, who entered with Houston up by four runs. He allowed a two-run home run to Seattle's Abraham Toro, who oddly enough began the day as a member of the Astros before being traded to the team in the dugout across the diamond. The Astros closer then put the tying run on base before retiring Kyle Seager and Ty France to end the game. Pressly had entered the game having allowed just one earned run over the last 19 innings and had a 0.84 ERA in non-save situations.

Pressly fired a clean ninth inning, striking out one to earn the save in the win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Pressly retired the side and struck out Curtis Terry to end the game. It was a nice comeback appearance for Pressly after he allowed his first earned run since May 29 on Saturday. The 32-year-old has a 1.50 ERA and a 0.79 WHIP in 42 innings. He is 18-for-19 in save opportunities, third-highest save percentage for closers with at least 10 saves.

Pressly allowed a solo home run and a walk while striking out out three in a non-save situation against the Rangers on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
It was just the second home run allowed in 41 innings for Pressly, who hadn't pitched since Wednesday. He entered in the ninth inning with Houston holding a 4-0 lead, his second consecutive non-save situation. Teams typically don't want their closer going too long without pitching.

Pressly struck out one over a scoreless ninth inning in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Houston manager Dusty Baker brought Pressly in for a non-save situation, as the closer hasn't thrown much lately. He saved Monday's game, which was the closer's first action since July 10. With the team not playing Thursday, Pressly should be available when the Astros open a home series against the Rangers on Friday.

Pressly walked one batter and struck out another in a scoreless ninth inning Monday, earning a save over Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Pressly walked Roberto Perez to open the inning but quickly worked around it to earn his 17th save of the season. The 32-year-old righty has now converted his last 10 save chances and is currently riding a 12-inning scoreless streak, lowering his season ERA to 1.38 through 39 innings. He hasn't been charged with an earned run in 16 innings since the start of June.

Since his only blown save chance on May 29, Pressley has turned in 14 straight appearances without allowing an earned run.

Pressly struck out one during a perfect ninth inning to save Tuesday's 9-6 win over Oakland.
EDGE Analysis
Pressly locked down the win, but it was Houston offense's that really saved the game. The Astros were down by four runs early, then got to the Athletics' bullpen and made Pressly's 15th save possible. Houston's closer has not allowed an earned run over the last 13 innings, while striking out 22 and walking one during that span.

Pressly struck out two in a perfect ninth inning Saturday to record his 14th save of the season in a 3-2 win over Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander needed only 10 pitches (eight strikes) to breeze through the heart of Cleveland's order. Pressly has been absolutely filthy since the beginning of June, picking up two wins and converting all seven of his save chances while not allowing an earned run and racking up a 21:1 K:BB in 12 innings over that stretch.

Pressly allowed a hit and struck out two in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Friday's 6-3 win over Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Pressly hasn't given up an earned run in his last 11 innings, collecting six saves and two wins in that span. The Houston closer has a strong 1.59 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 43:5 K:BB across 34 innings this season. He's now 13-for-14 in save chances and should continue to enjoy a fair amount of job stability in the ninth inning.

Pressly struck out the side in one inning of work to nail down the save against Detroit on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Pressly continued his outstanding month of June, striking out Harold Castro, Zack Short and Akil Baddoo in the seventh to secure a doubleheader split for the Astros. The 32-year-old closer has yet to allow an earned run in eight innings this month and has converted all five of his save opportunities. In 29 appearances overall this season, Pressly is 4-1 with 12 saves (in 13 chances), along with a 1.74 ERA and 0.90 WHIP across 31 innings. He's fanned 38 while walking only five.
