Hoffman walked one and struck out two in a scoreless eighth inning Friday to record his ninth hold of the season in a win over the Mariners.
The right-hander kept a combined shutout going after Dylan Cease has delivered seven scoreless frames, before Hoffman handed the ball off to Louis Varland in the ninth. Hoffman hasn't allowed an earned run since June 6, and over 11 appearances since then he's produced a 0.79 WHIP and 15:5 K:BB in 11.1 innings while picking up one win and two holds.
