EDGE Analysis

Kimbrel fanned every batter he faced Thursday, and Mookie Betts' three-run home run in the top of the ninth inning put Boston ahead for good and another check mark in Kimbrel's wins column. It was his second victory of the season, and the closer also has 10 saves with a 1.15 ERA, 0.51 WHIP and 17.8 K/9. It's an impressive start, and pitching for a contender will help Kimbrel continue to pile up wins and saves.
