Kansas City Royals closer Greg Holland is on a roll that could lead him to another appearance in the MLB All-Star game next month.
The former McDowell and Western Carolina standout has eight saves in his last nine games and didn’t allow a run in those appearances, during which he struck out 12 batters in 8 2-3 innings.
Holland, 28, has successfully converted 15 of 16 save opportunities this season despite playing on one of the least-potent teams in the majors (25th in runs scored, last in home runs). He made the American League All-Star team last season when he converted 47 of 50 save tries, giving him 62 of 66 in the last two years.
