Robertson gave up a hit and a walk before recording the final out of Tuesday's 8-5 win over the Diamondbacks and collecting his 12th save of the season.
EDGE Analysis
Drew Smith began the ninth inning with the Mets leading by four runs, but after he put two runners aboard with two outs, Robertson got the call and allowed an inherited runner to score before getting Lourdes Gurriel to ground out with the bases loaded. The 38-year-old righty has issued a free pass in four of his last five appearances, and while his 1.93 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 44:11 K:BB through 37.1 innings on the season remain sharp, he could likely use some rest over the All-Star break -- he's on pace to top 70 innings for the first time in his career.

Robertson gave up a hit over 1.2 scoreless innings of relief Saturday to record his 11th save of the season in a 4-2 win over the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander needed only 13 pitches (nine strikes) to breeze through the bottom of the Philadelphia order. It was Robertson's first save in June, but that's due to a lack of consistent opportunities rather than poor performance. He's reeled off five straight scoreless appearances, and on the season he carries a 1.64 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 40:8 K:BB through 33 innings.

Robertson was charged with a blown save Thursday against Atlanta, allowing one run on two hits and no walks while striking out three batters over 1.2 innings.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson came on in the eighth inning after New York's lead had narrowed to one run. He recorded the final two outs of that frame on eight pitches, then returned to try to close out the contest in the ninth. He wasn't successful, as Orlando Arcia tagged him for a one-out solo homer to tie the score. This was just the second blown save of the season for Robertson in 12 opportunities, though it continued a recent decline in his performance. After giving up just two earned runs over his first 20 innings of the campaign, Robertson has surrendered four earned runs on 10 hits over 7.1 frames across his past six appearances.

Robertson earned a save against the Phillies on Wednesday, allowing one hit and striking out two batters over one inning.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson experienced some stress in the outing as a result of allowing two straight hitters to reach base (via an infield single and a hit-by-pitch, respectively) with one out. However, the right-hander bounced back with a pair of strikeouts to end the threat and notch a save for the second straight day. Robertson is still in somewhat of a timeshare at closer with Adam Ottavino, but the former has been the more dominant pitcher throughout the campaign, posting a 1.48 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 29:7 K:BB over 24.1 frames.

Robertson gave up a hit and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning Tuesday to record his ninth save of the season in a 2-0 win over the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran reliever bounced back after allowing runs in each of his last two appearances, blowing his first save chance of the year in one of them. Robertson remains the top option in the Mets bullpen, racking up nine saves to Adam Ottavino's five, and he's collected a win, save or hold in nine of his 10 outings in May.

Robertson (2-0) earned the win after blowing a save in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Guardians. He allowed one run on two hits with no strikeouts or walks over 1.1 innings.
EDGE Analysis
With the Mets leading 3-2, Robertson entered during the top of the eighth inning with a runner on first base and two outs, and he quickly surrendered a two-run homer to Jose Ramirez for his first blown save of the year. The veteran right-hander returned for the ninth after New York reclaimed the lead and secured the victory with a scoreless frame. Robertson, Adam Ottavino and Brooks Raley all pitched during the matinee, which could open the door for Drew Smith to receive a save chance should one arise in Game 2.

Robertson earned a save against the Rays on Thursday, allowing one hit and striking out one batter in one scoreless inning.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson faced a tough task against the heart of Tampa's order while nursing a one-run lead in the ninth frame, and he was able to close out the contest despite allowing a one-out double to Randy Arozarena. Robertson threw eight of 11 pitches for a strike, five of which were of the swinging variety. The right-hander earned his third save in May and now has eight on the campaign.

Robertson walked two and struck out four over 1.2 scoreless innings Friday to record his fourth hold of the season in a 3-2 win over the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran right-hander was put in position to try and get a six-out save, but after breezing through the eighth inning Robertson ran out of steam in the ninth, eventually throwing 40 pitches (20 strikes) before he needed Drew Smith to finish things out and collect the save. Given that hefty workload, Robertson likely won't be available for a save chance Saturday should one arise, and he might end up getting Sunday off too. On the season, the 38-year-old is a perfect 7-for-7 in converting save opportunities with a 0.53 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 24:7 K:BB through 17 innings.

Robertson retired the side in order during the ninth inning while striking out two to pick up his seventh save of the year in a win over the Reds on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson needed just 13 pitches to get the save. He struck out Jonathan India and TJ Friedl before Spencer Steer flew out to end the game. The 38-year-old has allowed just one run in 14 appearances and is a perfect 7-for-7 in save chances so far this year. He sits at an 0.59 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 20:5 K:BB over 15.1 innings.

Robertson earned a save against Atlanta in the second game of Monday's twin bill, allowing two hits and striking out four batters over two scoreless innings.
EDGE Analysis
The Mets turned to Robertson in the eighth inning Monday while nursing a one-run lead. The right-hander worked around a one-out single in that frame, then continued into the ninth after New York posted an insurance run to make the score 5-3. Robertson gave up a leadoff double to Ozzie Albies to begin the ninth, but he fanned the next two batters and ended the contest by getting Chadwick Tromp to pop out. Robertson is now a perfect 6-for-6 in save chances this season, and he has given up only one earned run over 13.1 frames. Monday's outing was his first two-inning appearance of the campaign.
