Kintzler allowed one walk and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning Monday against the Nationals.

Kintzler gave up a hit and a walk in a scoreless seventh inning Saturday to record his fifth save of the season in the second game of a doubleheader against the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
He made things interesting, putting runners on first and second with two outs before getting Asdrubal Cabrera to end the game and split the twin bill with the Nats. Kintzler is far from dominant as a closer, but he's 5-for-5 in save chances despite a lackluster 3.48 ERA and 6:2 K:BB through 10.1 innings. With the Marlins still in the playoff picture as the trade deadline nears, the 36-year-old could stick in the closer role for the rest of the season rather than getting flipped to a less surprising contender.

Kintzler tossed one clean inning while striking out zero as he earned the save Friday against the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
Kintzler was charged with losses in each of his last two outings as he allowed three runs over two innings during that time. However, he picked up his fourth save of the season as he didn't allow any baserunners against the Nationals. Despite his recent struggles, the right-hander should continue to serve as the closer in Miami.

Kintzler (1-2) allowed two runs on two hits while striking out a batter in one inning of work as he was handed the loss Wednesday against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Kintzler got out the first two batters of the inning but allowed Brandon Nimmo to single and then Michael Conforto hit a towering shot to center field to put the Mets up 5-3 in the ninth. Kintzler has now given up home runs in back-to-back outings but should continue to have a grasp on the closer role for the time being.

Kintzler (1-0) picked up the win during Wednesday's extra-inning victory over the Blue Jays, giving up one hit and striking out one in 1.1 scoreless innings.
EDGE Analysis
After Brad Boxberger allowed the Jays to tie things up in the eighth inning, Kintzler got the call with two outs and shut down the rally by striking out Randal Grichuk, before working a clean ninth. He was then rewarded with a win when the Marlins re-took the lead in the top of the 10th. Kintzler has been dependable in the closer role despite his usual lack of dominance -- he has a 1.42 ERA and 0.95 WHIP through six appearances and 6.1 innings, but only a 3:1 K:BB.
