Braves closer Craig Kimbrel was unable to secure a save in his team's 4-2, 10-inning win over the Marlins Monday, giving up one earned run on one hit and one walk but striking out three batters in the ninth inning.
Kimbrel walked the first batter he faced, watched the second reach on a catcher's interference ruling then gave up a game-tying double to the third. He buckled down after that, striking out the next three batters. Kimbrel's blown save was his first of the season, but it comes on the heels of him giving up two earned runs in his first appearance after missing a week due to injury. He owns a 4.91 ERA and 16:3 K:BB ratio in 7 1/3 innings.
