Jordan Leasure News: Handles ninth inning

Leasure struck out two and walked one across a scoreless inning of work Saturday against the Twins.

Leasure has two of the White Sox's last three saves, but he handled the eighth inning in a recent appearance Monday, with Grant Taylor taking the ninth. Taylor didn't pitch Saturday, but Leasure effectively handled the ninth frame with a four-run lead. Regardless of the exact split moving forward, saves aren't likely to be plentiful for Leasure. He has worked nine innings thus far in August, allowing only two earned runs while maintaining a 16:2 K:BB.
