Porter Hodge News: Works ninth inning Saturday

Hodge worked around a hit to pitch a scoreless inning Saturday in a 7-3 win over the White Sox. He struck out one.

Hodge got some work for the first time in three days with the Cubs up four runs, so he was unable to qualify for his third save of the season. However, the righty did manage his second straight scoreless appearance, which comes on the heels of allowing three runs while retiring only one batter back on May 11. Hodge should continue to see save opportunities, though Drew Pomeranz recorded the team's last save Monday and veteran Ryan Pressly may reenter the mix at some point if he solves his early-season struggles.
