Calvin Faucher Earns Eighth Save Of Season Tuesday
Miami Marlins relief pitcher Calvin Faucher notched his eighth save of the season in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Giants. Faucher came in to pitch the bottom of the ninth inning up by two. He allowed a leadoff walk, got the first out on a strikeout, and ended the game on a ground-ball double play. The 29-year-old entered the season with some fantasy buzz. He hasn't quite lived up to expectations, but he has now converted eight of 11 save opportunities and has converted all four of his save opportunities in the last couple of weeks. He owns a 3.45 ERA, a 1.26 WHIP, and an 8.16 K/9 rate in 28 2/3 innings of work. Faucher may not receive many save opportunities given the team he plays for, but he has finally seemed to have settled into the closer's role, making him worth considering in deep roto leagues.
