Leone notched his first hold Saturday in the Cardinals' 5-3 win over the Diamondbacks, firing a scoreless sixth inning during which he recorded two strikeouts.
That's three strong outings in four appearances for Leone, who's also racked up a pair of strikeouts in each of his trips to the mound. Despite what appears will be a relative dearth of save opportunities behind closer Greg Holland, Leone's ability to miss bats and surprisingly sharp control thus far affords him solid upside, particularly in NL-only formats.
