Kittredge allowed one hit in a scoreless inning and earned a save over the Blue Jays on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Kittredge needed just eight pitches to finish off the 3-0 victory Sunday. After blowing two straight save chances, he's turned in two consecutive scoreless appearances with one save and a win. The 32-year-old is now sporting a 2.65 ERA with five saves through 17 frames this season.

Kittredge allowed two earned runs on three hits across 0.2 innings Wednesday against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Kittredge entered the game in the eighth inning with a two-run lead, but he quickly blew the advantage by surrendering a home run to Taylor Ward. It's not clear whether the Rays were planning for Kittredge to record a six-out save -- he's worked two innings in three appearances this season -- or if he was working as the setup man. Regardless, he has now allowed three earned runs across his last 2.2 innings spanning two outings. Kittredge's overall numbers remain strong as he's maintained a 3.00 ERA and 0.80 WHIP with a 12:1 K:BB across 15 innings. However, he's served up three home runs and may start to cede save chances more regularly to Brooks Raley if his struggles continue.

Kittredge allowed one earned run on three hits across two innings Sunday to blow the save against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Kittredge entered the game in the eighth inning with a one-run lead. He made it through his first frame unscathed but surrendered a solo home run to Abraham Toro in the ninth to blow his first save of the season. Though Kittredge is already in a committee for the closing role in Tampa Bay, this outing isn't likely to impact his status as he has maintained an excellent 1.88 ERA and 0.63 WHIP with a 12:1 K:BB across 14.1 innings.

Kittredge did not allow a baserunner in a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save Wednesday against the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Kittredge entered the game with a 3-0 lead and set down the Athletics in order on only 10 pitches. He now has four of the Rays' seven saves this season, most recently splitting chances with Ryan Thompson. However, Kittredge is one of the team's most trusted relievers, so his appearances in non-save situations have resulted in two wins. Kittredge has pitched well to begin the campaign, maintaining a 1.46 ERA with a 12: 1 K:BB across 12.1 frames.

Kittredge (2-0) got the win during Tuesday's 10-7 victory against the Athletics, striking out one in a 1-2-3 ninth inning.

EDGE Analysis

Kittredge entered a tie game in the ninth and made quick work of the bottom of Oakland's lineup. He fell in line for the victory when Tampa Bay hung a five spot in the top of the 10th inning and eventually prevailed. The 32-year-old now holds a 1.59 ERA and should continue to see high-leverage scenarios on a Rays team with big expectations.

Kittredge pitched 1.1 innings, surrendering one run on two hits while striking out a batter on his way to a save in Wednesday's 3-2 victory over the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Kittredge was called upon to get a four-out save Wednesday, giving up a single to Ty France before getting Jesse Winker to ground out with two on to end the eighth inning. After retiring the first two batters in the ninth, Abraham Toro took the right hander deep for a solo shot, but Kittredge was able to get Julio Rodriguez to fly out to end the game. The save was his third of the season and he now sports a 1.93 ERA and 0.64 WHIP over 9.1 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Kittredge was called upon to get a six-out save Tuesday and he didn't even break a sweat, retiring all six batters he faced and finishing two of them via strikes. He's off to a hot start this season, surrendering just one run over six innings while striking out eight, picking up two saves and a victory in the process. The 32-year-old appears to be in line for a career-year in 2022, operating as the Rays preferred ninth inning option.

Kittredge tossed the ninth inning and secured the save, surrendering one run on two hits while striking out two in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Kittredge picked up the win Friday against the Orioles, but he was called upon to protect a 5-2 lead in the ninth Saturday. Ramon Urias opened the inning with a ground-rule double and later scored on a two-out Jorge Mateo double, but Kittredge was able to halt the damage at just one run, striking out DJ Stewart to end the contest and pick up his first save of the season. With the Rays once again expected to challenge for an AL East divisional title, the 31-year-old will likely be a very effective bullpen option once again in 2022 after posting a sparkling 1.88 ERA and 0.98 WHIP over 57 appearances last year.

Kittredge (1-0) allowed one hit and one walk while striking out one across a scoreless eighth inning to earn the win Friday against the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Kittredge was among the candidates to close out games for the Rays once Pete Fairbanks (lat) was played on the injured list. While his usage is likely to continue to fluctuate, Kittredge served in a high-leverage role on Opening Day. He entered the game in the eighth inning with the score tied at one. After allowing two runners on base, Kittredge ultimately escaped from the jam and was able to earn the win as a result. One frame later Brooks Raley earned a one-out save, though J.P. Feyereisen was on the mound to begin the ninth inning.

Kittredge has a clear path to saves with the news that Pete Fairbanks (lat) is facing a multi-month absence.

EDGE Analysis

One of the best relievers in baseball, Kittredge posted a 1.88 ERA, 0.98 WHIP, 22.0 K-BB% and a 53.5 GB% in 71.2 innings last season. He also had nine wins and eight saves. The Rays typically give relievers scheduled days off, but when he is available, Kittredge will be used in the late innings. He may not push for 30 saves, but he could get to 30 wins-plus-saves if he stays healthy.
