Kimbrel allowed one hit while recording a pair of strikeouts in a scoreless two-out save Sunday against the Royals.
The hosts scored a run on two hits to draw within three in the bottom of the ninth, so Kimbrel came in to end the threat. He allowed a hit to the first man he faced but struck out the next two to close things out. Kimbrel has now tossed seven straight scoreless outings to lower his ERA to a minuscule 1.98 for the season.
