Braves closer Craig Kimbrel struck out two batters in a 1-2-3 ninth inning to earn his ninth save of the season in his team's 2-1 win over the Cardinals Tuesday.
Kimbrel ran into a little bit of trouble in mid-April after returning from a minor injury, but he's picked things up lately, striking out six in three innings over his last three outings while walking one and surrendering no hits. He owns a 2.19 ERA and 26:5 K:BB ratio in 12 1/3 innings.
