Anthony Bender struck out one in a scoreless ninth to pick up his second save of 2026 on Sunday.

The save was the 16th of his career as the Marlins defeated the Rays 4-1. Pete Fairbanks imploded in a 39-pitch appearance on Saturday, so he was unavailable for the series finale. Bender got the job done and could see additional ninth-inning opportunities depending on how Fairbanks pitches from here. Some of Fairbanks’ underlying metrics are promising, but teams can only stick with a closer carrying a 7.41 ERA for so long.
