Venters fired a scoreless ninth inning in a loss to the Braves on Tuesday.
Venters needed a scant seven pitches, five of which found the strike zone, to generate his fourth scoreless outing in as many appearances. The 33-year-old southpaw has yet to record a strikeout through 3.1 innings, but he's been otherwise stellar in his comeback from multiple Tommy John surgeries, allowing just a hit and a walk while also recording one hold.
