Mark Leiter Jr. - Earns another hold TuesdayLeiter pitched a scoreless inning of relief in Tuesday's 1-0 win over the Brewers. He struck out one.

ImpactLeiter worked the seventh following six scoreless innings from starter Justin Steele, and the righty needed just 10 pitches to set Milwaukee down in order. Adbert Alzolay has emerged as Chicago's closer with 22 saves in 23 chances this season, but Leiter has been an effective setup man, as he now has a team-high 25 holds to go along with a strong 2.70 ERA. If the Cubs want to catch the Brewers in the NL Central, they'll need big contributions from both relievers down the stretch.

Adbert Alzolay - Cruises to 22nd saveAlzolay retired all three batters he faced to record the save in Tuesday's 1-0 win over the Brewers. He struck out one.

ImpactAlzolay was dominant as he shut down Milwaukee on 11 pitches, giving the Cubs an important win against the division-leading Brewers. The righty now has 22 saves in 23 chances this season, and he's converted his last 18 opportunities in a row. After working mostly as a starter earlier in his career, Alzolay has developed into an outstanding reliever, and he could be settling in as Chicago's closer for the foreseeable future given his strong play this year.

Nick Burdi - Will resume throwing soonBurdi (abdomen/elbow) is scheduled to resume throwing in a couple of days, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

ImpactBurdi had to be pulled off his minor-league rehab assignment last week due to ulnar nerve irritation in his right arm, but it shouldn't be an overly serious setback. He initially landed on the injured list back in late May following an emergency appendectomy.
