Secures 16th save of season
Fairbanks earned the save in Friday's 5-2 win over the Mets, striking out one batter in a scoreless ninth inning.
Analyse
Fairbanks opened the ninth inning with a four-pitch strikeout of Marcus Semien, and the former needed just three more pitches to successfully close out Friday's game. Fairbanks has converted save chances in each of his last three outings and is up to 16 saves on the season, which is tied with Tanner Scott and Devin Williams for seventh-most in the National League. It's a trend in the right direction for Fairbanks, though he sports a 6.55 ERA and 1.34 WHIP across 34.1 innings this season.

Locks down 15th save
Fairbanks recorded his 15th save Wednesday against the Phillies, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.
Analyse
Fairbanks entered the ninth with a two-run lead and retired the side in order on 13 pitches (10 strikes) to secure his 15th save of the season. The veteran closer has now converted saves in consecutive appearances and has recorded at least one strikeout in nine of his last 10 outings. Despite the swing-and-miss upside he's shown, Fairbanks has allowed eight runs (seven earned) across 9.1 innings during that 10-appearance stretch and still has an ugly 6.96 ERA over 36 appearances this year.

Records nine-pitch save
Fairbanks tossed a perfect ninth inning with two strikeouts and earned his 14th save of the season Tuesday against the Phillies.
Analyse
Fairbanks needed just nine pitches (eight strikes) to get the job done Tuesday in what was one of his most dominant outings of the campaign. Despite holding a 7.36 ERA across his eight appearances (7.1 innings) since the beginning of July, Fairbanks has gone 2-for-3 in save chances this month while posting a 13.5 K/9.
