Padres closer Craig Kimbrel likely figured it would be a personal night off when his team entered the ninth Saturday in Colorado trailing by a run.
Kimbrel then likely figured he had a 1-2-3 save in the bottom of the inning when a grounder was hit to short with two out.
Neither proved to be the case. His team scored three in the ninth to give him the save opportunity, which was placed in jeopardy when Clint Barmes booted what should have been the clincher. But Kimbrel got the last out on another grounder to nail down his 33rd save.
The veteran has allowed just one earned run since July 12.
