Pete Fairbanks Collects 14th Save
Pete Fairbanks preserved a 3-0 lead and tallied his 14th save in a win over the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday. Fairbanks had to work around an error by second baseman Brandon Lowe in the bottom of the ninth, but he retired the other three hitters he faced to help the Rays keep rolling. The 31-year-old has not allowed an earned run in 11 of his past 12 appearances, which has dropped his ERA to 2.08 across 30 1/3 innings. Fairbanks hasn't exactly posted dominant strikeout and walk numbers (26:14 K:BB), but he's managing to get the job done consistently despite that.
