Fairbanks took the loss on Tuesday, giving up a run with the game tied in the top of the ninth against the Angels. The 31-year-old right-hander bounced back on Wednesday with a scoreless inning to record his second save. He’s looked great as he’s collected seven strikeouts while generating the swing-and-miss that was missing last season. In Milwaukee, Megill is also flashing encouraging stuff in a limited sample. He picked up his first save on Friday and has struck out six batters over 3 1/3 scoreless innings of work.
