View More NewsIan Kennedy earns second save
Kansas City Royals right-hander Ian Kennedy pitched two scoreless innings in a 3-2 win over the Rays in Game 1 of their doubleheader on Wednesday. Kennedy allowed two hits and struck out two on the way to earning his second save of the season.
Fantasy Impact
The back end of the Kansas City bullpen has been a mess this season with both Wily Peralta and Brad Boxberger struggling. Kennedy appears to be the favored option at this moment and the KC reliever to own. Overall, he has a 1.15 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, 21 strikeouts and two saves in 15 2/3 innings.
