Henriquez blew the save Sunday against Milwaukee, allowing one run on two hits and a walk over one inning. He struck out one.
Henriquez took the mound for the eighth inning and yielded ground-rule doubles to Jackson Chourio and Andrew Vaughn, the second of which plated the game-tying run. Henriquez and Calvin Faucher have been the primary members of Miami's closing committee of late, and it doesn't appear that either has pulled ahead. Henriquez has allowed a run in three of his last four appearances, and his ERA stands at 3.06 after 50 innings this season.

Marlins' Ronny Henriquez: Scrapes by with save
Rotowire
Henriquez picked up the save Tuesday against the Padres, allowing two runs on two hits and one walk with one strikeout across one inning.
Henriquez inherited a three-run lead in the top of the ninth and nearly squandered the advantage by allowing a leadoff walk and back-to-back doubles that cut the the Padres' deficit to one. However, he rebounded and retired the next three batters he faced to notch his sixth save of the campaign. Henriquez and Calvin Faucher have been battling for closer duties, but neither has done enough to win the job at this point. In his last 10.1 innings, Henriquez has allowed four runs and generated a 15:4 K:BB.

Marlins' Ronny Henriquez: Collects fifth save
Rotowire
Henriquez earned the save in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Twins, striking out one batter in a perfect ninth inning.
Henriquez was brought in to protect the Marlins' three-run lead, and he needed 15 pitches (11 strikes) to get the job done. He has logged a save in each of his last three outings and appears to have taken the Marlins' closing gig from Calvin Faucher, who registered a hold after tossing a scoreless eighth. Henriquez has yielded just one earned run over his last 10 outings, which has brought him down to a 2.79 ERA and 1.19 WHIP across 42 innings with 58 strikeouts this season.

He's given up one run over his last 8.2 innings, dropping his season ERA to 2.85 with a 57:16 K:BB through 41 frames. Anthony Bender threw a scoreless eighth inning Tuesday, while Calvin Faucher did not appear in the victory.

Marlins' Ronny Henriquez: Secures third save
Rotowire
Henriquez struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Diamondbacks.
Calvin Faucher was brought in to face the top of Arizona's order in the eighth inning and nearly made a disaster of it. He got through the frame, and Henriquez was able to have a much less dramatic ninth for his third save of the year, two of which he's earned in his last five outings. Henriquez has added 11 holds while pitching to a 2.93 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 55:16 K:BB through 40 innings this season. Based on Sunday's usage pattern, Faucher, who has been the closer lately, appears to be set to enter games in the the most high-leverage moments, and that could give Henriquez some chances at ancillary saves. However, Miami is 37-45 on the year, and the team's relievers have combined for just 18 saves, so there may not be a lot of chances to go around.

Marlins' Ronny Henriquez: Picks up second save
Rotowire
Henriquez earned the save in Sunday's 5-3 win over Atlanta, allowing one hit while striking out one in a scoreless ninth inning.
Henriquez allowed a leadoff single to Alex Verdugo to lead off the ninth, though he got Michael Harris to ground into a double play before striking out Sean Murphy to close out his second save this season. The Marlins have taken a committee approach to the ninth inning this year, and Henriquez has become one of their more trusted relief options. The 25-year-old right-hander has posted a 3.00 ERA with a 1.33 WHIP and 48:16 K:BB across 36 innings this year.

Marlins' Ronny Henriquez: Nabs win against Friars
Rotowire
Henriquez (3-1) was charged with a blown save but picked up the win Wednesday against the Padres, allowing two runs on one hit and one walk over two innings. He struck out three.
The right-hander was called in to protect a 7-6 lead in the seventh inning but served up a two-run homer to Gavin Sheets, only for the Marlins to strike back for three runs in the top of the eighth. Calvin Faucher ended up working the ninth for the save, but Henriquez may be Miami's top high-leverage option at the moment. Wednesday's homer was the first on his ledger since April 27, while the earned runs were the first he'd given up since April 28. Through 12 appearances in May, Henriquez sports a 1.38 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 20:4 K:BB in 13 innings while collecting two wins, two holds and his first career save.

Marlins' Ronny Henriquez: Converts first save
Rotowire
Henriquez earned the save in Sunday's 3-0 win against the Angels, striking out two in a clean inning.
The 24-year-old right-hander required only 10 pitches to secure the first save of his career. After picking up the win in Saturday's contest against the Angels, Henriquez looks to have entered the picture for high-leverage work at the back of the Miami bullpen along with Anthony Bender, Calvin Faucher and Jesus Tinoco. Henriquez has pitched to a 1.78 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 35:13 K:BB across 25.1 innings this season.

Marlins' Ronny Henriquez: Picks up fifth hold
Rotowire
Henriquez struck out one in a perfect sixth inning Friday to record his fifth hold of the season in a win over the Rays.
The back of the Marlins' bullpen has been something of a mess so far this season, but Henriquez has been one of the few bright spots. The 24-year-old righty was claimed off waivers from Minnesota during spring training and has delivered a 2.14 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 28:12 K:BB through his first 18 appearances and 21 innings with Miami. Jesus Tinoco, Calvin Faucher and Anthony Bender have been manager Clayton McCullough's most frequently used high-leverage arms, but Henriquez is making a push to join that group.

Marlins' Ronny Henriquez: Secures first win of season
Rotowire
Henriquez (1-0) picked up the win Sunday, working a scoreless sixth inning in an 11-4 victory over the Nationals. He didn't strike out or walk a batter.
The 24-year-old righty needed only four pitches to breeze through his frame, and the Marlins then broke a 3-3 tie in the bottom of the inning. Henriquez has been effective to begin the season and has worked his way into a higher-leverage role than anticipated -- he's posted a 1.08 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 9:4 K:BB through 8.1 innings, and his three holds are already a new career high.
