Craig Kimbrel worked a scoreless ninth inning on Friday, protecting a two-run advantage against the White Sox and earning his 27th save of the season. He struck out three batters and walked one. Kimbrel has allowed just one run since May 8 and hasn't blown a save in the span. The stretch of dominance has lowered his ERA from 3.38 to 1.49. Kimbrel remains one of the game's elite fantasy and real-life closers.
