Juan Morillo continues strong start to season
by David Leisering | Diamondbacks Correspondent | Wed, Apr 8th 8:06am EDT
Juan Morillo pitched a perfect seventh inning for his fourth hold of the season. However, the Diamondbacks fell to the Mets, 4-3, in 10 innings on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact:
Morillo cracked the Diamondbacks' Opening Day roster and has pitched in seven of the team's first 11 games. He pitched a 1-2-3 seventh inning, inducing two groundouts and a pop-up, and is now tied for the National League lead, with Cincinnati's Tony Santillan, with four holds. The righthander has a 3.00 ERA through six innings and has limited opponents to a .100 batting average. Morillo will continue to be a bridge to closer Paul Sewald, but could possibly challenge for save opportunities if Sewald falters.
