Kimbrel struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Kimbrel needed just eight pitches to set the Cubs down in order in the ninth inning. During his active nine-inning scoreless streak, Kimbrel's allowed just three hits, a walk and a hit-by-pitch while striking out 16. The closer has a 3.82 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 53:14 K:BB through 33 innings this season, and he's up to 12 saves and three holds without a blown save on his ledger in 2023.

Kimbrel picked up the save in Sunday's 7-6 win over the Mets, striking out two over a perfect inning.

EDGE Analysis

The Phillies rallied to take a one-run lead in the bottom of the eighth, and Kimbrel got the call in the ninth, his first save opportunity since June 15. Despite the long stretch in between saves, the veteran right-hander remains Philadelphia's top closing option, though Jose Alvarado figures to get worked in as well. Overall, Kimbrel is a perfect 11-for-11 in save chances and holds a 4.06 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 50:14 K:BB across 33 appearances (31 innings).

Kimbrel picked up the save Thursday against the Diamondbacks, striking out one over one perfect inning.

EDGE Analysis

Kimbrel entered the game with a one-run lead in the ninth and made short work of Arizona's lineup, striking out Josh Rojas before producing a fly out and a groundout in the following two at-bats. After a tumultuous May, the right-hander is now pitching to the tune of a 1.29 ERA over seven innings in June with two wins, three saves and 10 strikeouts to only two walks.

Kimbrel picked up the save in Tuesday's 1-0 win over Detroit, striking out three in a perfect ninth inning.

EDGE Analysis

Kimbrel improved to 9-for-9 in save chances, striking out the side to close out Philadelphia's shutout win. The 35-year-old Kimbrel has been excellent of late, allowing just two runs over his last 11 innings while striking out 19 in that span. After a few rough outings early in the year, his ERA is down to 5.09 with a 1.13 WHIP and 36:11 K:BB over 23 innings.

Kimbrel picked up the save during Saturday's win over the Nationals, tossing a perfect inning in which he struck out one.

EDGE Analysis

Kimbrel retired the Nationals in order to secure his eighth save. Despite a robust 5.32 ERA, the veteran right-hander has yet to blow a save chance this season and sports an elite 33:11 K:BB over 24 appearances (22 innings). The 35-year-old continues to operate as Philadelphia's top closer, but he figures to share closing responsibilities when Jose Alvarado (elbow) returns from the injured list.

Kimbrel struck out two but gave up a solo home run in the ninth inning Saturday to record his seventh save of the season in a 2-1 win over Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

After Zack Wheeler fired eight scoreless frames, Kimbrel was entrusted to close out the combined shutout, but instead his full-count fastball to Sean Murphy caught too much of the inner half of the plate and got driven over the left-field wall. It's the fifth long ball Kimbrel has served up in 20 innings, leaving him with a 5.85 ERA, but he also sports a 32:11 K:BB and has yet to blow a save chance this season. The 35-year-old righty will likely return to a secondary role in the Phillies' closer committee when Jose Alvarado (elbow) gets healthy.

Kimbrel walked one in a scoreless ninth inning Friday to record his sixth save of the season in a 6-4 win over Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

The 34-year-old has yet to blow a save chance this season, and Friday's performance gave Kimbrel his 400th career save, putting him in an exclusive club with Mariano Rivera, Trevor Hoffman, Lee Smith, Francisco Rodriguez, John Franco, Billy Wagner and Kenley Jansen -- who, in a nifty bit of synchronicity, also collected his 400th against Atlanta on May 10. Kimbrel's 5.68 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 30:11 K:BB through 19 innings this season are less than stellar, however, and he'll likely cede closing duties back to Jose Alvarado )elbow) when the latter returns from the IL.

Kimbrel (3-1) earned the win Wednesday against the Diamondbacks, striking out one in a perfect 10th inning.

EDGE Analysis

Kimbrel stranded the free runner on second base in the top of the tenth inning, setting up the Phillies to walk it off in the bottom half of the frame. The 34-year-old Kimbrel has been solid of late, allowing just one run on two hits over his last six innings while striking out 13 in that span. He lowered his ERA to 6.00 with a 1.33 WHIP and 30:10 K:BB through 18 innings this season.

Kimbrel picked up the save in Sunday's 2-1 victory over the Cubs. He allowed a run on a hit and a walk while striking out two over one inning.

EDGE Analysis

Kimbrel's four-game scoreless run was snapped by Christopher Morel's two-out homer Sunday, but he hung on to seal the 2-1 win and log his fifth save of the season. The 34-year-old Kimbrel is a perfect 5-for-5 in save opportunities despite a 6.35 ERA and 1.41 WHIP through 17 innings this year. He'll continue to split closing duties with Gregory Soto while Jose Alvarado (elbow) is sidelined.

Kimbrel allowed a hit and struck out three in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Friday's 6-3 win over the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

This was Kimbrel's first save chance in his last five outings. He's kept runs off the board in three straight appearances, and with Jose Alvarado (elbow) on the injured list, Kimbrel should be in line for a higher share of save chances. The veteran reliever has struggled to a 6.60 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 24:9 K:BB across 15 innings this season while adding four saves, three holds and a 2-1 record through 17 appearances.
