Braves closer Craig Kimbrel made his final appearance of the spring Saturday, in an exhibition game against the team's Double-A affiliate.
Kimbrel allowed two and a walk, with one of the hits going for extra bases. He managed to pitch out of a jam with three strikeouts. Kimbrel seems ready for the beginning of the regular season, after a 5.63 ERA in spring training.
Kimbrel is coming off a dominant season for a closer, allowing seven earned runs in 62 2/3 innings, while striking out 116 and walking 14. He saved 42 games in 45 opportunities.
