Anthony Bender - Picks up second saveBender earned the save Thursday after holding the Mets to one run (unearned) on one hit and a walk while striking out one batter over one inning.
ImpactBender was called upon to protect a three-run game in the ninth and worked around an error, a walk and pair of infield singles to hold onto the win for Miami. The 26-year-old has put together a solid season thus far with a 2.06 ERA and 0.92 WHIP across 39.1 innings and is expected to earn more save opportunities following Yimi Garcia's trade to the Astros.

Braxton Garrett - Fans six in no-decisionGarrett blanked the Mets over five innings during Thursday's win, allowing five hits and four walks while striking out six. He did not factor into the decision.
ImpactThe 24-year-old, who was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville ahead of Thursday's start, showed strong command this time around as he stranded each of his runners. Garrett's velocity wasn't at its strongest, with his fastball averaging 89 mph. In his five major league call-ups this season, the southpaw has given up 11 runs over 27.2 innings. Thanks to his successful outing, Garrett should have a chance to remain in the rotation with Trevor Rogers (personal), Pablo Lopez (shoulder) and Cody Poteet (knee) all on the shelf.

Rich Hill - Solid in no-decisionHill allowed one run (unearned) on three hits and a walk while striking out three over five innings during Thursday's loss to the Marlins. He did not factor into the decision.
ImpactRich's only run allowed was unearned due to an error by Michael Conforto. Otherwise, Hill turned in his best outing since being acquired from Tampa Bay. As a Met, the lefty has registered no-decisions in his first three starts, allowing six earned runs over 15 innings thus far. Overall this season, Hill has put together a 3.92 ERA and 1.16 WHIP. The 41-year-old is projected to make his next start at home next week against the Nationals.
