Calvin Faucher allowed no earned runs despite issuing three walks while recording his first save of the season in Wednesday’s 3-2 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Fantasy Impact:
It was an eventful outing for Faucher, who walked the first two batters he faced, then recorded an out via a sacrifice bunt and intentionally walked Shohei Ohtani to load the bases with one out. Freddie Freeman followed with a grounder to Xavier Edwards, who turned a heads-up unassisted double play to end the game. With Pete Fairbanks (nerve irritation) on the injured list, Faucher and Tyler Phillips have each received save opportunities, signaling a closer-by-committee approach. Anthony Bender is also a candidate to factor into the mix until Fairbanks returns.
