Romo secured his first hold in a win over the Twins on Saturday, firing a perfect seventh inning in which he recorded a strikeout.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran reliever was razor sharp in his Mariners regular-season debut, firing 10 of 15 pitches for strikes. Assignments such as Saturday's are likely to be par for the course for Romo this season, as he has an extensive track record of solid work in the later innings in addition to being able to navigate the occasional save situation successfully.

Romo agreed Wednesday with the Mariners on a one-year, $2 million contract, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Romo will once again be a part of a major-league roster for the 15th consecutive season. The year-old spent the 2021 season with the Athletics, posting a 4.67 ERA and 1.25 WHIP while converting three saves in seven attempts and recording 12 holds over 61.2 innings. The veteran will look to get his numbers closer to his career averages of 3.10 ERA and 1.04 WHIP with the Mariners in 2022.

Romo pitched one-third of an inning in Sunday's 3-2 triumph over the Angels, allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits and blowing the save in the ninth inning.

EDGE Analysis

Romo entered in the ninth inning to protect a 2-0 lead and surrendered three hits while only recording one out. He was removed and replaced with Lou Trivino who navigated the jam and got the win in extras. The blown save is Romo's second in eight September appearances and he has an unsightly 15.00 ERA in six innings this month.

Romo secured his third save in a win over the Angels on Friday, firing a scoreless ninth inning during which he allowed a hit and recorded a strikeout.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran right-hander got a relatively rare ninth-inning call and was up to the task, working around a baserunner to get through the frame on 14 pitches and preserve the Athletics' one-run lead. Romo went through a considerably rocky stretch where he allowed 11 earned runs on 10 hits over 4.2 innings in six appearances between Aug. 28 and Sept. 14, but he has bounced back with back-to-back scoreless efforts and clearly still has the trust of manager Bob Melvin to pitch in high-leverage spots when the need arises.

Romo (1-1) took the loss Friday's as the A's were downed 11-10 by the Blue Jays, failing to record an out in the ninth inning while giving up three hits capped by a walkoff three-run home run by Marcus Semien.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander completed a total meltdown by the Oakland bullpen that saw three relievers, including erstwhile closer Lou Trivino, cough up nine runs in the final two frames. Romo was still the guy stuck with the blown save though, his third of the year, and while Trivino's recent back spasms and poor performances may have thrown open the ninth-inning role, Romo isn't making a strong case to claim it with a 6.23 ERA and 1.85 WHIP over his last nine appearances and 8.2 innings.

Romo earned the save Thursday after tossing a scoreless ninth inning against the Tigers. He allowed one walk and no hits while striking out one.

EDGE Analysis

Romo was tasked with protecting a two-run lead in the ninth and worked around a walk to Robbie Grossman to collect his second save of the season. Both saves came within the last week while Lou Trivino deals with back spasms. Overall this year, Romo has compiled a 3.02 ERA and 1.06 WHIP over 52 innings.

Romo earned the save Saturday against the Yankees despite allowing two runs and two hits across one inning with no walks or strikeouts.

EDGE Analysis

Romo needed just 16 pitches to close things out in the ninth, but he was far from effective and gave up a two-run shot to Aaron Judge that made it a one-run game with two outs to go. Fortunately for Oakland, Romo retired Giancarlo Stanton and Joey Gallo to clinch his first save of the campaign. The two runs allowed on Judge's blast were the first ones he allowed since August 13, and he has given up just three runs across 11.2 innings (11 appearances) this month.

Romo, who allowed a hit and a walk while recording three strikeouts during a scoreless ninth inning in a loss to the Giants on Sunday, now sports an 0.93 ERA across the 9.2 innings he's logged over his last nine appearances.

EDGE Analysis

The sample dates back to July 30, and Romo has allowed just one earned run in his last 21 appearances overall. The right-hander has only a modest four holds over the latter span, however, which has somewhat capped his overall fantasy value in formats that count that statistic.

Romo fired a scoreless eighth inning in a win over the Angels on Thursday, issuing one walk.

EDGE Analysis

Romo extended his inning some by issuing a free pass to Shohei Ohtani, but he otherwise exhibited his trademark sharpness. The veteran reliever sported an ugly 12.79 ERA through his first seven appearances, yet he's subsequently bounced back to post a 1.69 ERA, 0.75 WHIP, 9.8 K/9, 0.3 HR/9 and six holds over the 32 innings covering his last 35 outings.

Romo (1-0) won Friday's 5-4 game against Cleveland, pitching a clean ninth with two strikeouts.

EDGE Analysis

Romo entered in the ninth with Oakland down a run and retired the side on only 10 pitches to get through the inning unscathed and became the winner upon Jed Lowrie's walk-off home run. The veteran righty has now thrown 7.1 scoreless innings over his last seven appearances to lower his ERA to 4.22.
