Athletics' Ryan Madson: Credited with eighth hold Saturday

Madson notched his eighth hold in Saturday's 10-4 win over the Nationals, firing 1.1 scoreless innings and recording a strikeout.

Madson's ERA now sits at an impressive 1.66 following Saturday's effort, his sixth straight scoreless outing. The 36-year-old former closer has served as one of manager Bob Melvin's most trusted options out of the bullpen throughout the season, allowing no more than one earned run in any appearance while also posting a 0.92 WHIP and 21:4 K:BB over 21.2 innings.
