Barraclough gave up a run on two hits and a walk while striking out two in the ninth inning Tuesday to blow his fourth save of the season in an extra-inning loss to the Phillies.
Were it not for a great throw from Giancarlo Stanton in right field that gunned down Cesar Hernandez at the plate, Barraclough would have taken the loss as well. While it's encouraging that the right-hander got the save chance at all, he's now been scored upon in three of his last four appearances, and with Brad Ziegler (back) potentially returning to action soon, Barraclough's opportunity to claim at least a share of the Marlins' closer role for the final weeks of the season may have slipped away.
