View More NewsCraig Kimbrel earns fifth save Friday
Craig Kimbrel locked down his fifth save of the season in Friday's 6-5 win over the Padres. He walked one and struck out the side.
Fantasy Impact
Kimbrel has looked quite sharp in his last two save opportunities, and he's lowered his ERA to 5.87 in 7.2 innings in 2019. He's maintained his reputation as an elite strikeout pitcher, as he's punched out 12 so far this season. He remains a top fantasy option at relief pitcher.
