Kevin Kelly records save Monday
by Nicholas Rodriguez | Rays Correspondent | Tue, Mar 31st 7:14am EDT
Kevin Kelly was called upon to record the final out against Blake Perkins and secured the save on five pitches, inducing a game-ending groundout to preserve a 3-2 win for the Tampa Bay Rays over the Milwaukee Brewers and earn his first save of the season.
Fantasy Impact:
In the ninth inning, Ian Seymour was tasked with facing the first three batters and recorded two outs before Kelly was called upon to secure the final out. With Griffin Jax and Garrett Cleavinger off to rough starts, Kelly could see another save opportunity in the near future. He has yet to allow an earned run across two appearances. The Tampa Bay Rays are operating with a closer-by-committee approach, so fantasy managers should avoid rushing to pick up Kelly off waivers until he earns more consistent ninth-inning opportunities, though he is someone to monitor in the meantime.
