Pressly picked up the save Wednesday against the Cardinals, striking out two over a perfect inning.

EDGE Analysis

Pressly retired Paul Goldschmidt, Lars Nootbaar and Paul DeJong in order to record his 15th save of the season. The right-hander went just 2-for-5 in save chances from May 29-June 14, but he hasn't allowed an earned run over his last five appearances (six innings) and is a perfect 3-for-3 in save opportunities during that stretch. Overall, Pressly is 15-for-18 as a closer and sports elite numbers across the board (2.88 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 9.7 K/9).

Pressly (2-2) allowed one unearned run over two innings against the Dodgers on Sunday. He struck out one and earned a win.

EDGE Analysis

Pressly worked the ninth and 10th innings Sunday and yielded an unearned run in the latter frame despite not allowing a hit or walk in his appearance. He looked iffy early in the month, but he's given up just one run over his last eight innings, dropping his season ERA to 2.97. Pressly's converted 14 of his 17 save chances while going 2-2 with a 35:7 K:BB through 33.1 innings.

Pressly struck out two in a perfect ninth inning Wednesday to record his 14th save of the season in a 10-8 win over the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Both pitching staffs struggled in this one, combining for 16 walks, two hit-by-pitches and two wild pitches, but Pressly was unaffected by the general malaise. After a stretch in late May and June that saw the veteran reliever cough up runs in six of seven appearances, he's now kept the opposition off the board in three straight, leaving him with a 3.16 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 34:7 K:BB through 31.1 innings on the year.

Pressly earned his 13th save of the season with a scoreless ninth inning in Tuesday's 4-2 win against the Mets. He struck out one, walked one and did not allow a hit.

EDGE Analysis

The 33-year-old hasn't been reliable of late as he came into Tuesday with eight runs allowed (four earned) and three blown saves in his past eight outings, but he worked through the heart of New York's lineup with no major issues. Pressly is 13-for-16 in save chances this year and has a 3.26 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 32:7 K:BB in 30.1 innings.

Pressly (1-2) was charged with a blown save after he allowed three unearned runs on two hits and failed to strike out a batter in an inning of relief, but he picked up the win in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Pressly entered the game in the ninth inning with a three-run lead and blew his third save of the season -- all three of which have come in his last six appearances. The leadoff hitter reached base via an error, but Pressly went on to surrender a double and triple to allow the tying run to score. There's been no indication he will be moved out of the closer role, but Pressly has allowed at least one run in five of his last six outings.

Pressly earned a save over the Guardians on Saturday, allowing an unearned run on one hit while striking out one batter over one inning.

EDGE Analysis

Pressly blew a save opportunity against Cleveland on Friday, but he got right back on his feet with a save one day later. The Astros gave him a three-run ninth-inning cushion to work with Saturday, but things got interesting when Steven Kwan opened with an infield single and the next batter reached base via an error. Pressly then got Jose Ramirez -- who homered four times over the previous two games -- to line out before retiring the final two batters to close out the contest. Pressly has struggled a bit of late with two blown saves and four runs (three earned) over his past five appearances, but he's 12-for-14 on save chances on the season and in no immediate danger of having his closer role challenged.

Pressly blew his second save of the season in Friday's 10-9 extra-innings loss to the Guardians, giving up a run on a hit and a walk in the ninth inning. He struck out one.

EDGE Analysis

The Astros had already seen a 5-4 lead slip away, but after they re-took the lead in the top of the eighth inning, Pressly got the call to try and secure his 12th save. Instead, Cleveland tied it up again, something the Guardians would do twice more in extra innings before finally taking their first and only lead of the night in the 14th. Pressly has been tagged for a run in three of his last four appearances, but the stumble seems to be more a product of bad luck than bad performance -- over his last 12 games, the veteran closer has an 18:2 K:BB in 12 innings.

Pressly allowed one earned run on two hits while striking out two across one inning in Saturday's game against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Pressly entered the game in the ninth inning with a four-run lead, allowing two singles and a wild pitch to surrender a run. He has allowed at least one earned run in three of his last 10 appearances, though he has only one blown save in that span and has maintained a 15:1 K:BB across 10 frames. Though he's had an inconsistent start to the season, Pressly comfortably remains the Astros' closer.

Pressly allowed one hit and struck out one batter over a scoreless inning Thursday to earn a save against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Pressly blew his first save of the campaign against the Twins in his previous appearance, but he was able to get back on track. The veteran closer allowed a one-out double, though that didn't provide extensive stress given that he was protecting a three-run lead. Pressly has 11 saves in 12 chances since April 21, posting a 1.69 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 18:2 K:BB over 16 innings during that span.

Pressly blew a save against the Twins on Monday, allowing one run on two hits and one walk while striking out two batters in one inning.

EDGE Analysis

Pressly got the ninth inning with Houston up 5-4 but couldn't protect the lead. He struck out two of the first three batters he faced but yielded a game-tying single to rookie Royce Lewis with two outs. The blown save was the first for Pressly in 11 chances this season, and Monday marked just the second time he's allowed the opponent to score over his past 17 outings. With those numbers in mind, Pressly's role as Houston's closer remains very secure despite the stumble.
