Rays' Chase Whitley: Credited with third hold in Thursday victory

Whitley earned his third hold of the season by firing 2.2 innings of two-hit, scoreless ball in Thursday's 2-0 victory over the Yankees. He struck out three.

Analysis:

After a largely successful rehab stint in the minors as part of his comeback from May 2015 Tommy John surgery, Whitley has turned in three very solid performances with the big league club. He's allowed only one unearned run on three hits and a pair of walks over 6.2 innings, while also recording six strikeouts over that span. Whitley's outing Thursday was his second against his former Yankees teammates, and he's now been credited with a hold in each of his three appearances.
