Craig Kimbrel Clinches Quick Save as Orioles Edge White Sox
by Chase Davis | Orioles Correspondent | Fri, May 24th 8:53am EDT
Craig Kimbrel sealed the deal for the Orioles in their 8-6 victory over the White Sox, tossing a mere two pitches to notch his 10th save of the season.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite not recording any strikeouts in this appearance, Kimbrel efficiently closed the game without allowing any hits or walks. This performance, albeit brief, should reassure fantasy managers about his role as a closer, especially after a season marked by a solid 3.41 ERA and a high strikeout rate of 13.5 K/9. However, his tendency towards inconsistency, highlighted by three blown saves, might still be a concern. Nonetheless, Kimbrel remains a valuable asset in leagues that reward saves, given his ability to shut down games when on form.
