Kimbrel Shuts the Door on Red Sox
by Jesse Garcia | Orioles Correspondent | Thu, Apr 11th 7:35am EDT
Craig Kimbrel's latest outing against the Boston Red Sox was a clinic in relief pitching efficiency and effectiveness, further solidifying his role as a key asset.
Fantasy Impact:
In a game where the Orioles edged out a 7-5 victory, Kimbrel's performance was a beacon of reliability. Delivering 13 pitches across a clean inning, he allowed no hits, no walks, and struck out two, notching his third save of the season. This showing is a testament to his rebound after a somewhat shaky start, as indicated by his pre-game ERA of 2.25 and a WHIP that was an incredibly low 0.25. His season stats, including a staggering 15.8 K/9 and a FIP that suggests even his ERA might be misleadingly high, make him an increasingly attractive option for fantasy managers in need of bullpen stability.
