This one had to feel extra special for Faucher, who grew up in nearby Chula Vista and went to UC-Irvine. The local product was tasked with protecting a two-run lead at Petco Park and needed just eight pitches (five strikes) to slam the door. He got the call after breakout star Ronny Henriquez served up a go-ahead homer to Gavin Sheets with two outs in the seventh inning, but came back out to hurl a scoreless eighth inning.

That’s two nightmare outings in two days from the Marlins’ preferred closing options in Jesús Tinoco and Faucher. It’d seem to be good news for Anthony Bender, who got the Marlins’ first save back on Apr. 1 but has none since. He has a 1.89 ERA in 19 innings this season, compared to 6.60 for Tinoco, who has four saves, and 5.63 for Faucher, who has two saves.

Anthony Veneziano, Lake Bachar, Anthony Bender and Faucher all gave the Marlins scoreless innings tonight. Jesus Tinoco, who earned saves both Sunday and Monday, was probably unavailable for this one. Faucher and Tinoco both have two saves on the season. Bender, who has been the most effective of the trio, has one. We’re not sure any are truly worth rostering in mixed leagues at this point.

After Anthony Bender pitched in two of the last three days and taking the blown save on Friday, Faucher was summoned to close it out in the ninth with a one-run lead against the Nationals. He worked a clean frame, striking out the final batter for his first save of the season. Despite his early struggles, Faucher could work his way into the closer role in Miami given the lack of options on the team.
