Kimbrel allowed a leadoff walk but recorded one strikeout in a scoreless ninth inning to record the save Tuesday against the Phillies.
There was a bit less drama for Kimbrel this time around, but the tying run still moved into scoring position when Scott Kingery stole second base with two outs. The 30-year-old is now 36-for-40 in save opportunities this season with a 2.52 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 76 strikeouts across 50 innings.
