St. Louis Cardinals closer Alex Reyes took the loss on Sunday, allowing a run in a tie game. He dropped his record to 3-2 and saw his ERA go up to 0.90. He ended up pitching a full inning, allowing a solo home run, a walk, and recording two strikeouts. Reyes has mostly been excellent, as can be seen by his ERA, but underlying stats show plenty of cause for concern. He remains a sell-high candidate, but he keeps on defying FIP and xFIP all season.

St. Louis Cardinals closer Alex Reyes recorded his 16th save of the season in Tuesday's victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Reyes pitched a scoreless ninth inning, locking in a 3-2 win. As usual, it wasn't a clean inning for Reyes, who allowed a hit and a walk while recording a strikeout. His ERA sits at a ridiculous 0.62, but the 4.61 xFIP and 21% walk rate still raise an alarm. Maybe he'll keep getting away with it, but baseball history has shown that Reyes may be the premier sell-high candidate among all relief pitchers right now. It took an excellent game-ending catch from Tyler O'Neill to keep Reyes from blowing the save and taking a loss on Tuesday.

St. Louis Cardinals closer Alex Reyes secured his 15th save of the season in Saturday's win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Tasked with protecting a 7-4 lead, Reyes did just that, pitching a scoreless ninth inning while striking out two and allowing a hit and a walk. Reyes is sporting a pristine 0.64 ERA, but there remain serious concerns with his walk rate and batted ball profile. Still, his results speak louder than the analytics, and Reyes has been one of the best relievers in baseball so far this year.
