Juan Morillo picks up fifth hold of season Friday
by David Leisering | Diamondbacks Correspondent | Fri, Apr 10th 10:48pm EDT
Juan Morillo retired four of the five batters he faced - three via strikeout - for his fifth hold of the season as the Diamondbacks knocked off the Phillies, 5-4 on Friday.
Fantasy Impact:
Morillo is now tied with Cleveland's Erik Sabrowski for the major league lead with five holds this season. He retired Kyle Schwarber to end the seventh, then struck out the side in the eighth, pitching around a two-out single by Bryson Stott. Morillo was not a lock to break camp on the Diamondbacks' roster, but he has been pitching well in high-leverage situations and has as many holds this year as he did in 42 appearances last season. He has a 2.45 ERA in 7.1 innings with a 7:2 K:BB ratio. If your league rewards holds, Morillo is definitely worth a look.
