Diamondbacks' Joe Mantiply: Locks down hold

Mantiply pitched a scoreless inning of relief to earn his fourth hold in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Cubs.

Mantiply recorded the final two outs of the seventh inning then retired the first batter in the eighth before letting Ian Kennedy shepherd the lead to closer Mark Melancon. Two of the three batted balls Mantiply allowed had exit velocities over 100 mph, but those were easily handled infield grounders. The left-hander has allowed only one run over 15.2 innings, fanning 13 and walking one.
