Stanek notched his third hold of the season in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Angels, striking out the side in a scoreless eighth inning and allowing one walk.
Stanek's strikeout victims notably included Mike Trout and Albert Pujols, and he's now put together three straight scoreless appearances. The 25-year-old right-hander experienced some trouble with his control in his previous outing in the opening game of the series, but managed to issue just one walk in a 24-pitch inning. Stanek has proven to be a valuable and increasingly trusted asset in an injury-hampered bullpen, compiling a 2.25 ERA in four innings across six appearances.
