Chafin retired two batters to close out the eighth inning in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Marlins. He worked around a base hit and struck out a batter.
With another scoreless appearance added to his ledger, Chafin lowered his ERA to 2.21, good for third-best in the bullpen behind T.J. McFarland (0.55) and Archie Bradley (1.40). Chafin's 25 appearances are also tied for the team lead, as the left-hander has risen up the relief ranks to become one of manager Torey Lovullo's most trusted late-inning options.
