Emilio Pagan pitched two complete innings of perfect ball, striking out four, to pick up his second hold of the season in Seattle's 3-1 win over Baltimore on Tuesday.
Fantasy Implications: Pagan, who has been used primarily in low-leverage situations, made easy work of the six Oriole batters he faced, needing only 20 pitches (17 thrown for strikes) to record the hold. Since being recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on May 22, the 26-year-old right-hander has compiled a 1-1 record with two saves, while recording a masterful 0.93 ERA, 0.69 WHIP, 9.3 K/9, 1.6 BB/9 and 0.3 HR/9 over 29.0 innings. His only blip was an August 3 loss to Kansas City. Pagan has not allowed a run in 11 of the 13 appearances he has been deployed in that stretch. Fantasy managers in leagues that count holds should keep on eye on Pagan, especially if he is to be used in higher leverage situations in the future.
