Braves closer Craig Kimbrel took the mound in a nonsave situation Saturday and didn't deliver a great performance, giving up two earned runs on three hits and one walk while striking out one in two-thirds of an inning in his team's 7-5 win over the Mets.

Kimbrel was making his first appearance in a week after dealing with shoulder soreness, and he wound up beign removed with the bases loaded, as Jordan Walden came in to collect a save. Kimbrel owns a 4.26 ERA and 13:2 K:BB ratio in 6 1/3 innings.
