Craig Kimbrel blows second save Wednesday

Craig Kimbrel (0-1) allowed two runs on one hit with a walk during a blown save in the ninth inning against the Pirates on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact:

After blowing an early lead, the Cubs mounted a comeback in the seventh inning, and called on their new closer to shut the door in the ninth. Kimbrel retired the first batter, but then allowed a walk and a double. A fielder's choice and a sacrifice fly sealed the deal for the Pirates from there. In a small sample size, Kimbrel has allowed five runs in 2.2 innings (16.88 ERA) in three appearances with the Cubs.
