Kimbrel worked a scoreless ninth inning, striking out one to earn his 12th save of the season in a 6-3 win over St. Louis on Tuesday.
Kimbrel has been nothing short of dominant as Boston's closer in 2017. Control was his bane last season when he walked 5.1 batters per nine innings, but there's been no such issues with wayward pitches this year. Kimbrel's walked just two batters all season, both in the same game, and hasn't issued a free pass over his last 14.2 innings.
