Stanek was credited with the first hold of his big-league career in Sunday's 11-2 win over the Red Sox, surrendering a hit in one-third of an inning.
Just called up from Triple-A Durham on Saturday, Stanek got his first exposure to regular-season big-league action quickly and acquitted himself reasonably well. The 25-year-old right-hander was enjoying a strong season with the Bulls before being summoned to the Rays, and he could prove to be a valuable asset for a short-handed relief corps for the time being.
