56 Greg Holland RP

Holland picked up the save against the Rockies on Friday, giving up one earned run on one hit over his one inning of work to lock down a 10-9 victory for the Diamondbacks. He had two strikeouts and two walks.

It wasn't completely smooth sailing for Holland, but he managed to work around a pair of walks, a hit and an earned run to bag his eighth save in as many opportunities to start the season. While this wasn't his sharpest outing, the 33-year-old is off to an excellent start, with a 0.75 ERA, a 0.83 WHIP and 17 strikeouts over 12 innings, and he's got a firm grasp on the role as the primary closer option in the Arizona bullpen.

Holland earned his seventh save of the season by issuing one walk in a scoreless ninth inning to close out Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Yankees.

Holland now has saves in back-to-back games against the Yankees without allowing a hit. The 33-year-old has been near perfect thus far in 2019 with a 0.64 WHIP and 15:5 K:BB through 11 scoreless innings, and is 7-for-7 in in save opportunities.

Holland struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Tuesday to record his sixth save of the season in a 3-1 win over the Yankees.

The veteran closer fired eight of nine pitches for strikes in breezing through the ninth. Holland has yet to allow a run this season, much less blow a save, and his 15:4 K:BB through 10 innings is even more remarkable considering his career-low 92.4 mph average fastball.

Holland allowed one walk and recorded a strikeout during his fifth save of the season in a 2-1 victory against the Pirates on Tuesday.

The 33-year-old looked sharp, throwing 11 of his 18 pitches for strikes and inducing four swing-and-misses. He is 5-for-5 in save opportunities this year with a 0.63 WHIP and 13 strikeouts in eight innings. He also hasn't allowed an earned run yet.

Holland allowed one hit and struck out two in a scoreless inning of work to record his fourth save of the season Wednesday against the Braves.

Holland was called upon to maintain a one-run lead in the tenth inning and had little trouble doing so. He now has four saves on the season and appears entrenched in the closer role. After racking up 12 strikeouts and allowing just two hits and two walks in his first seven innings of work, he doesn't appear to be in any danger of losing the job.
