Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez remains confident that closer Craig Kimbrel will shake off a tough spring and return to his dominant ways once the season begins. Kimbrel finished with 5.63 ERA and a 1.63 WHIP over eight innings in Grapefruit League play.
"It just takes a little bit of a tweak to his delivery and he gets right back on track," Gonzalez said. "I think he'll be fine. When you're a closer, you get juiced up for that ninth inning -- and it's hard to get that adrenaline that you live for in the sixth inning of a Spring Training game."
