Kennedy gave up a hit and a walk in a scoreless ninth inning Saturday to record his 18th save of the season in a 5-3 win over the Mets. He struck out two.
EDGE Analysis
The Phillies took a 5-0 lead into the ninth and didn't seem like they'd need Kennedy's services, but Mauricio Llovera created a save situation by serving up three solo shots. Kennedy has had a rough start to his tenure with his new club, getting scored upon in three of five appearances and posting a 10.38 ERA through 4.1 innings, but he's 2-for-2 in converting save chances.
