Cleveland Indians reliever James Karinchak pitched a scoreless ninth inning to lock down a 5-3 exhibition win over the Pirates on Wednesday. He walked two and struck out one in the frame.

Karinchak is being counted upon as a key piece of the Cleveland bullpen this season. The young flamethrower has plenty of upside, although his control has been an issue at times. He is worth a look in fantasy leagues that count holds as a stat category.
