Kimbrel pitched a scoreless ninth inning to earn his nine save of the season in Wednesday night's 5-2 win over the White Sox. He converted his fourth straight save opportunity.
There had been some bubbling concern after Kimbrel blew a save 10 days ago in Houston. At the time, his ERA was 5.00 and he had allowed five hits and five walks in nine innings. Since then, he's been perfect with just one walk sullying his line in his last four appearances.
