Goalkeeper Carlos Estevez has not missed once in 19 save opportunities
■ Angels 5-2 Royals (19th time Japan, Kansas City)
On the 18th (19th Japan time), the Angels came from behind to win 5-2 against the Royals in enemy territory. In the wild card race, the Yankees and Astros lost, so they moved up to second place in the bracket. Pitcher Shohei Ohtani’s game-winning goal number 24 came from behind 2 runs on this day as well.
Goalie Carlos Estevez closed out the 9th inning with a 3-run lead, and made his 19th save of the season by stopping the three outs. When he joined from the Rockies this season, he has played in 32 games so far, and has a good record of 1 win and 1 loss, 19 saves, 2 holds, and an ERA of 1.74. It is not stable.
Angels spokesman Matt Birch said he tied Lee Smith’s 1995 franchise record for making 19 consecutive saves. After Iglesias was traded in the middle of last season, there were many losses coming from behind that were said to be “catch”. With a reliable guardian deity reigning this season, advancing to the playoffs for the first time since 2014 is becoming a reality.
