Lake Bachar - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Opening Tuesday's contest Bachar will serve as an opener in Tuesday's game versus the Brewers, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact It's already the sixth opener assignment for Bachar since he landed in Pittsburgh at the trade deadline. He's covered at least 1.2 innings and as much as three frames in his first five opener assignments for the Pirates, so a multi-inning effort Tuesday is likely. Khristian Curtis is a candidate for bulk relief Tuesday.

AUGUST 4 • MLB.COM

Notches second save Bachar recorded his second save of the season in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Mets, allowing one hit and striking out two over three scoreless relief innings.

Impact The right-hander needed just 35 pitches (26 strikes) to get the job done, and give most of the rest of the Marlins' bullpen a breather. The three innings tied for Bachar's longest appearance of the season, and a bumpy July may have taken him out of the mix for higher-leverage opportunities. Over his last 13.2 innings, Bachar has served up four homers and stumbled to a 6.58 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 13:4 K:BB.

Records first save Bachar earned the save Sunday against the Giants, working a scoreless ninth inning with one walk in a 2-1 victory.

Impact With Pete Fairbanks having recorded saves in each of the previous two days, Bachar was entrusted with a one-run lead in the ninth inning Sunday. He successfully closed the door after working around a leadoff walk to Rafael Devers to secure his first save of the season. While he isn't a regular fixture in the ninth inning, Bachar has been one of Miami's steadier relievers lately, allowing just two runs over his last 13 innings. He now owns a 3.02 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 46:16 K:BB across 41.2 innings on the season.
