Secures second save

Bachar allowed one hit and no walks in a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save Wednesday against the Astros. He struck out one.

Analysis

The Marlins' closer picture remains a mess. Calvin Faucher worked the eighth inning in a 6-4 game Wednesday, which allowed Bachar to enter for the ninth and nab his second save of the year, both of which have come since the start of July. It's difficult to gauge if Bachar will see additional save opportunities given how Clayton McCullough has managed his bullpen this season, but Faucher likely remains the favorite to handle those situations. That said, Bachar is clearly in the mix with a 3.22 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 57:22 K:BB through 50.1 innings.
