Barraclough allowed a hit and struck out two in a scoreless eighth inning Thursday to pick up his 22nd hold of the season in a 6-5 loss to the Braves.
Brad Ziegler blew his second straight save in the ninth, and with Barraclough showing markedly improved control -- he has a 1.38 ERA, 0.69 WHIP and 20:1 K:BB in 13 innings since coming off the DL in mid-August -- it may only be a matter of time before the Marlins audition the flamethrowing righty in the closer role.
