Treinen pitched 0.2 shutout innings Friday to pick up his 10th hold of the season in a 3-1 win over the Mets.
He needed just three pitches to get the inning-ending double play the Nats needed to escape the eighth after Shawn Kelley gave up consecutive hits to begin the frame. Treinen continues to generate a ton of ground balls with his heavy sinker, posting a 10:1 GB:FB through 3.2 innings so far in July, which should make him a steady source of holds for the rest of the year. His 2.27 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 33:16 K:BB in 35.2 innings isn't bad either.
