Braves closer Craig Kimbrel recorded his 155th career save Friday, moving into first place in franchise history in a 5-2 win over the Diamondbacks.
Kimbrel didn't have the easiest path to the save, as he entered in the eighth inning with a runner on base representing the tying run. He moved the runner into scoring position on a wild pitch, but struck out Martin Prado to end the threat.
Kimbrel had an easier time in the ninth, as he induced three fly ball outs to close out the game. He is now 16 for 18 on save opportunities this season, with a 1.66 ERA. He has struck out 38 batters in 21 2/3 innings of work.
