View More NewsCraig Kimbrel clinches another save, Orioles top Rays 3-1
Craig Kimbrel delivered a flawless performance, striking out two in a clean inning to secure the save in the Orioles' 3-1 victory over the Rays.
Fantasy Impact
This outing continues to solidify Kimbrel's role as a reliable closer for Baltimore, especially after a season showing a strong 3.00 ERA and a 0.95 WHIP. His consistent ability to strike out batters, evidenced by a 13.3 K/9 rate, makes him a valuable asset in fantasy leagues, particularly for those in need of saves and strikeouts. While his three blown saves this season might raise some eyebrows, his overall performance and knack for closing games should keep him as a top fantasy option among relievers.
