Park Chan-ho of the Philadelphia Phillies recorded his fourth hold of the season on Sunday in a 5-4 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays.

The 36-year-old Korean entered the game in the sixth inning with a 5-4 lead and pitched two perfect innings.

The 15-year veteran had a strikeout and reached 153 kilometers per hour on the radar while lowering his ERA from 6.18 to 5.94.

There were some concerns about Park's health after the pitcher was hit in the knee by a sharply hit ball on Saturday, but the right-hander showed no ill effects in a solid outing.

Setup man Ryan Madson worked the eighth while closer Brad Lidge worked the ninth to grab his 14th save of the season and his first since returning from the DL.

Phillies starter Jamie Moyer was the winner, allowing four runs in five innings in the inter-league win.
