Pete Fairbanks allowed one earned run over one inning while striking out two, picking up the win on Friday over the Nationals.

Fairbanks entered the game in the ninth inning to pick up the save, but after retiring the first two batters of the inning, the veteran righty would walk Jacob Young, who then stole second, and scored soon after on an RBI single by Daylen Lyle. Fairbanks would retire the next batter to end the inning and would pick up his fourth win of the season after Javier Sanoja drove in the winning run in the bottom of the frame. Friday marked the first blown save of the month for Fairbanks, who has otherwise been solid in August, posting a 1.80 ERA and a 1.00 WHIP over five frames.
