Kinley earned a save against the Marlins on Monday, striking out two batters in a perfect ninth inning.
Kinley was called upon with Colorado holding a slim one-run lead in the ninth frame, and he cruised with a 1-2-3 inning on 15 pitches (11 of which were strikes). The righty reliever claimed his first save since Aug. 1 and his seventh in eight chances this season. Kinley has worked primarily in a setup role for most of August, but he could be in line for at least short-term save opportunities due to Victor Vodnik (biceps) landing on the injured list last week.
