Padres' Kirby Yates: Turning things around in September

Yates struck out two batters over a scoreless inning Thursday, picking up his 17th hold in a 3-0 win over the Cardinals.

Yates hasn't allowed an earned run in four September appearances after posting atrocious results in August (12.19 ERA). The Friars' setup man can once again be relied upon as a source of strikeouts (13.9 K/9) and holds (17) now that he appears to have rediscovered his midseason form.
