Diekman retired the only two batters he faced to close out the eighth inning in a 7-6 victory over Toronto on Sunday.
Diekman has only given up one run in his last seven outings and has racked up five holds and 10 strikeouts during that time. Along with posting career bests in ERA (2.51) and WHIP (1.05), the lefty is showing great command this year with an impressive 2.51 BB/9. The 29-year-old has a firm grasp on late-inning relief work for the Rangers; he could very well lead the team in holds this season.
