Kansas City Royals right-hander Ian Kennedy pitched a scoreless ninth to preserve a 6-4 win over the White Sox on Friday. Kennedy struck out two on the way to earning his fourth save.
Fantasy Impact
Kennedy continues to tighten his grip on the closer job in KC. That being said, it isn't a very lucrative role as the Royals haven't afforded many save chances to their closer this season. Kennedy now has a 3.86 ERA and 32 strikeouts in 25 2/3 innings of work.
