Raisel Iglesias, the Braves’ closer, had his second blown save of the season as the Tigers came from behind for a 6-5 win in 10 innings to snap a nine-game losing streak Monday in Detroit.
*Since taking the loss in Oakland on May 30, Iglesias made six appearances before Monday. He pitched six innings and allowed only one hit, no runs and one walk while striking out five. He had five saves and one win.
*He had converted his last eight save opportunities, dating to May 17.
*He hadn’t allowed an earned run in 12 consecutive games, dating to May 14.
*On Monday, Iglesias allowed five hits and three earned runs in his one inning. A 5-2 Braves lead with three outs to go turned into a tie score and a loss one inning later.
*”I mean, it stings worse than any of them when you lose a lead,” Braves manager Brian Snitker said. “It happens. (Closers) have bad days, too. It happens.”
