Parker pitched a perfect inning with one strikeout and earned a hold in Saturday's 6-3 loss to Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

Parker relieved starter Cal Quantrill and protected a 2-0 lead in the sixth inning. The 36-year-old reliever has allowed two runs on eight hits and struck out five through six innings spanning his first seven appearances of the season. Parker will likely continue to see low-leverage usage, as James Karinchak and Emmanuel Clase have gotten the lion's share of the late-inning work.
