April 1, 2025 10:56 PM : Bender retired the only two batters he faced to earn a save against the Mets on Tuesday.
Analysis: Bender entered the game with two runners on base and needed just four pitches to close out the 4-2 win. Anthony Veneziano originally began the ninth inning before getting into trouble. Bender is the first Marlin to record a save this season, and the bullpen situation seems pretty fluid. He's turned in 2.2 scoreless innings in three appearances. Calvin Faucher, who came into the game as the presumed favorite for saves in the Miami bullpen, had pitched Friday and Saturday and may not have been available.
