Iglesias (2-1) picked up the win over the Giants on Monday, striking out four batters over two perfect innings in a 1-0 victory.
Chris Sale and Blake Snell put on a pitching clinic, striking out a combined 23 batters while allowing only five hits and zero runs between them, and the scoreless tie continued into the 10th inning before Atlanta managed to squeeze out a run on a Travis d'Arnaud sacrifice fly. Iglesias, who had entered the game in the ninth, then remained on the mound for the bottom of the 10th and nailed down the win. The veteran closer hasn't allowed an earned run since June 16, posting a minuscule 0.32 WHIP and dazzling 25:2 K:BB over his last 19 innings while collecting both his wins on the season and converting all six of his save chances.
