Pete Fairbanks locks down save Friday
by Nicholas Rodriguez | Marlins Correspondent | Sat, May 23rd 4:26am EDT
Pete Fairbanks struck out two batters while allowing one walk in a scoreless outing to earn the save in Friday's 2-1 win over the New York Mets.
Fantasy Impact:
Fairbanks bounced back Friday after allowing a home run on Thursday, recording his first save in over a month. He needed 20 pitches to secure the save, throwing 12 for strikes. Fairbanks has struggled overall this season, posting an 8.25 ERA and 1.42 WHIP with 19 strikeouts across 12 innings. He still appears to be Miami’s top option in the ninth inning, though fantasy managers should note he will likely get Saturday off after throwing 40 pitches over the last two days.
