Craig Kimbrel delivered a flawless performance, striking out three in a scoreless inning to notch the save in the Orioles' 3-0 victory over the Reds.
Fantasy Impact
His precision on the mound was evident as he required only 16 pitches to retire the side, maintaining a perfect inning without allowing any hits, walks, or runs. This outing lowers his ERA to an impressive 2.92 and enhances his WHIP to 1.14, reinforcing his role as a reliable closer. With a strikeout rate of 14.6 K/9 and now tallying his eighth save of the season, Kimbrel continues to be a high-value asset for fantasy teams, especially in categories of saves and strikeouts. His consistent strikeout ability and control should keep him as a top fantasy option, despite the occasional blown save.
