August 19, 2017Miami Marlins — Drew Streckenrider picked up his third seventh-inning hold in a week (striking out the side!) While this could’ve been a final tuneup before he re-enters the closer role, Steve Cishek is still certainly worth holding on to until Ozzie Guillen proves that he meant what he said earlier this week.
