Braves closer Craig Kimbrel allowed a runner to reach scoring position in the 10th inning Tuesday against the Blue Jays but was able to strand him to earn his 16th save.
Kimbrel walked Adam Lind to open the inning and then allowed a stolen base by pinch runner Munenori Kawasaki, before getting two flyballs to left field to end the threat 7-6.
Kimbrel has saved six chances in a row, giving him 16 in 19 opportunities this season. He has a 2.21 ERA and 0.93 WHIP, with 30 strikeouts and five walks in 20 1/3 innings.
