Braves closer Craig Kimbrel was a bit wild Tuesday against the Royals, but he managed to pitch out of a bases-loaded jam to close out a 4-3 win.
Kimbrel walked the first batter he faced and allowed a single right after, putting the tying run at third base with no out. He struck out the next two batters and intentionally walked Alex Gordon, before getting Alcides Escobar to fly out to end the game. Kimbrel threw 12 of 23 pitches for strikes en route to his 22nd save of the season.
Kimbrel is 22 for 25 in save chances, with a 1.53 ERA and 1.02 WHIP.
