Jacob Barnes blows the save through little fault of his own

Jacob Barnes blew his first save opportunity on Saturday against the Cubs, allowing four runs (two earned) on three hits and two walks. He took the loss to fall to 0-1.
Fantasy Impact:
The line doesn't look good, but the ninth inning unfolded as follows: out, infield single (plus error), walk, error, infield single, single, intentional walk, sacrifice bunt, walk, foul-out. Few, if any of the balls against Barnes were hit hard, and he was mostly let down by his defense. The Milwaukee closing situation is a bit up in the air but it wouldn't be a surprise to see Barnes get the next shot again.
