25 Archie Bradley RP

Bradley took the loss in relief Sunday against the Giants after giving up a run and striking out two over 1.1 innings.

Bradley entered a 2-2 contest in the top of the seventh inning and struck out Andrew McCutchen to record the final out of the frame. The right-hander came back out for the eighth and served up a one-out solo shot to Evan Longoria, which held up as the difference in the one-run game. The loss evened Bradley's season record at 3-3, but that's of little consequence to his fantasy owners, who roster the 25-year-old mainly for the impact he provides in holds and the ratio categories.

Bradley threw 1.1 perfect innings and struck out three en route to his 27th hold of the season in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Cubs.

Bradley and closer Brad Boxberger were dominant while polishing off the win for the Diamondbacks, striking out six of the Cubs' final seven batters. It was a strong bounce-back effort for Bradley after he was tagged for a season-high six runs while retiring just two hitters in his last appearance Friday against the Rockies.

Bradley retired just two of eight batters faced in Friday's 11-10 loss to the Rockies and surrendered six runs on three hits and three walks.

Bradley notched two strikeouts on the evening, but that's hardly any consolation for fantasy owners who kept him in the lineup for ratio stabilization. Though the Diamondbacks typically lean on Bradley as their eighth-inning man, manager Torey Lovullo chose to bring in the relief ace in the seventh Friday, a decision that proved to be costly. Bradley threw only 16 of his 30 pitches for strikes and saw an 8-5 lead turn into an 11-8 deficit after Raimel Tapia took him deep for a pinch-hit grand slam to complete the Rockies' six-run inning. It was the second loss of the season for Bradley, who saw his ERA jump from 1.97 to 3.11 after the implosion.

Bradley tossed a scoreless inning in the Diamondbacks' 2-1 win over the Braves on Friday. He gave up a base hit and struck out a batter.

Though he needed 20 pitches to retire the side, Bradley preserved the Diamondbacks' one-run lead to earn his MLB-leading 25th hold of the season. Bradley has allowed just two runs over his last 22 appearances, which translates to a 0.89 ERA over that stretch.

Bradley gave up an unearned run and struck out three of the six batters he faced Tuesday in the Diamondbacks' 5-3 win over the Marlins.

The run scored on an errant throw by second baseman Ketel Marte, but Bradley whiffed Miguel Rojas for the final out of the seventh inning to strand runners on second and third. He earned his 20th hold of the season as a result, adding to his MLB lead in the category. Bradley has also chipped in three saves to go with a 2.13 ERA and 0.97 WHIP in 38 innings, making him one of the more valuable non-closing relievers in baseball.
