Parker struck out three in a four-out save Wednesday against the Royals, his fifth of the season.
Parker was nasty, as he induced four swinging strikes in his 19-pitch outing. He owns a 2.73 ERA and has been able to avoid blowups this season, as he has allowed more than one run in an outing just once, when he allowed two runs April 7 against Oakland. Parker has now saved consecutive games and is getting consistent opportunities despite a blown save June 2 against Texas. It looks like Parker has separated himself from Justin Anderson and Jim Johnson, the other apparent closer options for the Angels in the wake of Keynan Middleton's season-ending Tommy John surgery.
