Lopez earned the save in Friday's 6-3 win over the Marlins, throwing a perfect ninth inning and striking out two batters.

Lopez was brought on to protect a 6-3 lead and looked great as he recorded his fourth save of the season. He has picked up two of the last three saves for the Cubs, with Porter Hodge collecting the other, and the two figure to be manager Craig Counsell's top high-leverage options down the stretch. The 31-year-old Lopez has been lights out since joining the team in June, pitching to a 0.79 ERA over 22.2 innings.
