Rays' Pete Fairbanks: Tallies 12th save

Fairbanks struck out two without allowing a baserunner in a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save Tuesday against the Marlins.

Fairbanks was called upon to protect a three-run lead, and he did so with little issue. He's allowed an earned run in three of his last 10 appearances, which resulted in losses. Fairbanks has been excellent otherwise in that stretch, racking up 15:4 K:BB to go with a 0.96 WHIP. He should remain the Rays' preferred closer.
