Pete Fairbanks Continues Dominant Spring Performance

Fairbanks tossed a perfect inning with one strikeout in Saturday's split-squad game against the Cardinals. The right-hander has yet to allow a run through four spring innings, maintaining a 6:1 K:BB ratio. Signed to a one-year, $13 million contract in December, Fairbanks is positioned as the Marlins' primary closer for the upcoming season, building on a career track record that includes averaging 25 saves over the last three years with a 2.98 ERA and 10.2 K/9.
