• Marlins' Jesus Tinoco: Hit with first blown save

  09/27/2024 • By RotoWire

  Tinoco was charged with a blown save in Thursday's extra-innings win over the Twins, allowing one run on three hits and one walk over 1.2 innings while striking out one. Tinoco took over for Anthony Bender with one out and a man on first in the bottom of the eighth and coughed up back-to-back hits to allow two runners to come home, tying the game at 4-4. He was then able to get through the frame without sustaining any further damage before pitching a scoreless ninth. It marked the right-hander's first blown save this season after converting his previous three opportunities this month. It also marked the second time in his last five appearances that he allowed three hits and at least one run. On a positive note, Tinoco has recorded at least one strikeout in three straight outings.

  Tinoco struck out one without allowing a baserunner over 1.2 innings to earn the save in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Twins. Anthony Bender left two on with one out in the eighth inning, but Tinoco avoided trouble in that frame. Tinoco also tossed a perfect ninth and has now gone 3.2 innings without allowing a baserunner. He's earned three saves over his last five appearances, taking over the closing role since Calvin Faucher (shoulder) landed on the injured list. Tinoco has a 1.55 ERA, 0.59 WHIP and 29:4 K:BB over 25 innings with the Marlins, an improvement on his 3.23 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 41:11 K:BB through 39 innings for the year, which includes time with the Rangers and the Cubs.

• Marlins' Jesus Tinoco: Grabs second career save

  Tinoco got the save in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Nationals. He pitched two innings without allowing a run or a hit and striking out two. Tinoco entered the game in the eighth inning with a two-run lead and proceeded to retire all six batters he faced to record his first save since 2019, when he was a member of the Rockies. The right-hander is pitching for his third team this season but seems to have found a home in Miami, as he has a 1.33 ERA and 0.54 WHIP in 20.1 innings since joining the Marlins. The 29-year-old has a chance at being the closer for the Marlins down the stretch with Calvin Faucher (shoulder) and John McMillon (elbow) on the injured list.

  Tinoco has turned in a 1.47 ERA, 0.60 WHIP and 24:4 K:BB while collecting one win and five holds over 18.1 innings across 15 appearances out of the bullpen since the Marlins claimed him off waivers from the Cubs on July 30. Tabbed to fill one of the openings in the bullpen that was created by the Marlins' fire sale ahead of the trade deadline, Tinoco has arguably performed better with Miami than any of the relievers (Tanner Scott, Bryan Hoeing, A.J. Puk, Huascar Brazoban and JT Chargois) that were dealt away. A 29-year-old journeyman who owns a modest 3.82 ERA over 74 career MLB appearances, Tinoco attributes part of his newfound success in Miami to his increased usage of a slider that he revamped while pitching overseas in Japan in 2023, per Kevin Barral of FishOnFirst.com. Tinoco has quickly moved into a high-leverage role out of the Marlins bullpen, and he could now get a chance to pick up saves down the stretch after incumbent closer Calvin Faucher (shoulder) landed on the injured list Saturday. John McMillon and Anthony Bender loom as potential challengers for closing duties.
