Munoz (3-6) got the win against the Rangers on Saturday, firing a perfect ninth inning. Munoz was called on to protect a 4-4 tie in the ninth inning and delivered by retiring Josh Jung, Ezequiel Duran and Carson Kelly on 11 pitches. The right-hander was then afforded his first victory since way back on May 5 via Randy Arozarena's game-winning single in the home half of the frame, putting a fitting bow on Munoz's third straight scoreless relief appearance. The Mariners' closer is enjoying a strong fantasy season overall, recording a career-high 21 saves to go along with six holds, a 2.10 ERA, an 0.95 WHIP and an 11.5 K/9 across 55.2 innings.

Munoz struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Friday's 5-4 win over the Rangers. Munoz needed just eight pitches (five strikes) to retire the top of the Rangers' lineup after the Mariners pulled ahead in the eighth inning. This was just his third appearance in September after he battled elbow soreness early in the month. Munoz is up to 21 saves in 26 chances to go with six holds, a 2.14 ERA, a 0.97 WHIP and a 71:25 K:BB through 54.2 innings this year.

Munoz picked up the save over the Padres on Wednesday, striking out two over a perfect ninth inning. Munoz took the mound in the top of the ninth with a three-run lead and managed to retire the side in order on 14 pitches to secure his 20th save of the campaign. It was a solid outing for the reliever after having allowed a home run in each of his last two appearances, while the save was his first since Aug. 25 against the Giants. Munoz has now posted two or more strikeouts in five of his last six appearances and hasn't issued a free pass in three of his last four.

Munoz (elbow) allowed two earned runs on a hit and a walk over one inning of relief in a win over the Athletics on Thursday. Munoz was making his first appearance since Saturday after battling some elbow soreness, and he looked somewhat less than 100 percent while surrendering a two-run home run to Brent Rooker that cut the Mariners' four-run lead in half in the ninth inning. While the right-hander was subsequently able to strike out JJ Bleday to finish the game, it remains to be seen whether the rocky outing was more attributable to rust or lingering issues with the elbow.

Munoz picked up the save Sunday, walking two and striking out two during a scoreless ninth inning against the Giants. Munoz finished off the Giants for his 19th save of the season, though it was his first save in four weeks. It was not a perfect outing for Munoz, who struggled with his command, tossing just 10 of 21 pitches for strikes while walking two. However, he also struck out two, including Mark Canha with a runner on third to end the game. Munoz has allowed four earned runs and nine total baserunners over his last four appearances but still maintains a dominant 1.80 ERA and 1.00 WHIP with 63 strikeouts over 50 innings this season.
