Scott struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Tuesday to record his 13th save of the season in a 2-1 win over the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

The southpaw faced Cincinnati's 9-1-2 hitters and needed only 11 pitches (seven strikes) to lock down the save. Scott had stumbled through July, posting a 4.26 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 12:11 K:BB through 12.2 innings and blowing three of his nine save chances, but for now he still appears to be manager Don Mattingly's top choice for the closer role.

Scott suffered a blown save Wednesday after he pitched one inning, giving up one run on a hit and two walks while striking out one in the Marlins' 5-4 extra-inning victory over the Pirates. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Scott entered the game in the top of the ninth inning with a 2-1 lead, but he walked the first two batters he faced before Michael Chavis roped a game-tying RBI double. Scott was able to limit the damage to just one run and retired the next three batters he faced including a strikeout by Ben Gamel. The blown save was his fourth of the campaign and third in his last six opportunities. Scott now owns a 4.17 ERA and 1.36 WHIP with 55 strikeouts over 36.2 innings and he has converted 12 out of 16 save chances this season.

Scott walked one batter over a scoreless inning Sunday, striking out two and earning a save over the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Scott bounced back quickly after he blew a save and was tagged with a loss against the Mets on Saturday. He threw 11 of 19 pitches for strikes, and the lone blemish on his final line came in the form of a two-out walk to Mark Canha. Scott has now converted 12 of 15 save chances on the year, though two of those blown opportunities have come in his last five outings. He's sporting a 4.04 ERA with a 54:22 K:BB through 35.2 frames.

Scott (4-3) took the loss and blew the save against the Mets on Saturday, allowing two unearned runs on one hit while striking out two batters over two-thirds of an inning.

EDGE Analysis

The game went into extra innings, and Miami took a one-run lead in the top of the 10th. Scott then entered to try to keep New York off the scoreboard in the bottom of the frame, and he struck out the first two batters he faced. However, Thomas Nido subsequently tied the score with a double, and Scott committed a throwing error on the following play to give the Mets a walkoff win. The blown save was the third of the season for Scott -- all of which have come since June 15. Since the start of June, the southpaw has posted a 2.76 ERA and 25:9 K:BB over 16.1 innings, so he should still have some trust built up with manager Don Mattingly despite allowing runs in three of his last four outings.

Scott walked one in a scoreless ninth inning Friday to record his 11th save of the season in a 5-2 win over the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

The southpaw fought with his control, firing only 13 of 22 pitches for strikes, but the balls the Mets were able to put into play found their way into gloves. Scott's inability to find the plate consistently is beginning to cost him, as he has a 4.66 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 13:9 K:BB through 9.2 innings over his last 10 appearances with two blown saves. If Marlins manager Don Mattingly elects to switch closers again, it appears as though Dylan Floro could be the next man up.

Scott recorded his 10th save of the season in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Angels, giving up a run on one hit and two walks while striking out one in the ninth inning.

EDGE Analysis

The southpaw blew the combined shutout after Sandy Alcantara delivered another eight dazzling innings, but after he served up a bases-loaded sacrifice fly to Taylor Ward with one out, Scott got Jared Walsh to fly out to end the game. He's been tagged for runs in back-to-back appearances, but Scott still seems to have a fairly secure hold on the closer role for Miami, posting a 3.07 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 23:8 K:BB through 14.2 innings since the beginning of June while converting nine of 11 save chances and collecting four wins.

Scott (4-2) allowed a run on a hit and a walk while striking out one in one inning to earn the win over the Nationals on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Scott pitched in a third consecutive game Sunday and was unable to preserve the Marlins' one-run lead in the bottom of the ninth inning. However, he picked up his fourth win of the season since Miami won the game in the 10th inning. Although Scott was unable to earn the save Sunday, he's earned decent job security as the Marlins' closer over the first half of the season.

Scott picked up the save in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Nationals, allowing one hit in one scoreless inning.

EDGE Analysis

Four Marlins pitchers have earned saves this season, but Scott leads them with nine after picking up a save against the Nationals. The lefty seems to have a firm grasp on the closer role at this point. His ERA spiked to 5.04 after a poor performance June 15, but Scott has not allowed a run in six appearances since then, and his ERA now sits at 4.06.

Scott struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Friday to record his eighth save of the season in a 6-3 win over the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran lefty continues to get the job done as the Marlins' closer. Since the beginning of June, Scott has been scored upon only twice in 12 appearances, posting a 2.31 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 21:5 K:BB through 11.2 innings over that stretch while converting seven of eight save chances.

Scott (3-2) allowed no hits and a walk while striking out two in a scoreless ninth inning to earn the win over the Mets on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The southpaw has served as the Marlins' primary closer while Anthony Bender (back) has been sidelined, but Scott was called upon to preserve a tie game in the top of the ninth inning Sunday. He succeeded and was rewarded with his third win of the season after Miami hit a walkoff homer in the bottom of the ninth. The 27-year-old has tossed four scoreless innings over his last four appearances, and he's earned a win and two saves during that time. Although Bender converted six of eight save chances prior to his absence, Scott should still be firmly in the mix for high-leverage work once Bender returns to action.
