EDGE Analysis
Entering with two outs and a two-run lead in the eighth inning, Kimbrel struck out Didi Gregorius but allowed a run to score as the latter reached on a wild pitch. He then walked Chase Headly before striking out Chris Carter and proceeded to strike out the side in the ninth to close things out. Kimbrel has now recorded saves in each of his last five appearances, striking out 13 during that span while lowering his ERA to 1.01 and his WHIP to a microscopic 0.49.
