Faucher pitched a scoreless ninth inning to earn his third save of the season Sunday against the Mets. He allowed two hits and zero walks while striking out two batters.

Called upon to protect a one-run lead in the ninth, Faucher stumbled by allowing back-to-back singles to start the inning. He recovered nicely, however, striking out Jeff McNeil and inducing a Francisco Lindor flyout before striking out Mark Vientos to end the game. The 28-year-old Faucher has pitched well since taking over the Marlins' closer role following the Tanner Scott trade on July 30. Faucher owns a 3.38 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 10:4 K:BB in eight innings since the trade, converting three of four save opportunities.
