Baltimore Orioles closer Craig Kimbrel keeps climbing the all-time leaderboards.
On offense, Gunnar Henderson led off with his MLB-leading 15th home run while Colton Cowser notched three hits. On the mound, Corbin Burnes was his usual dominant self, matching his season high with 11 strikeouts and yielding just one run over six innings. Craig Kimbrel closed the door in the ninth, striking out two in a scoreless inning en route to his ninth save of the season.
The game was an important milestone for Kimbrel, marking his 800th career relief appearance. That ties former closer Francisco Cordero for 43rd on the all-time list.Despite some low points, he's still been effective for the Orioles, going 4-1 with a 3.43 ERA and nine saves this season as his 36th birthday approaches., Kimbrel will likely end the season with around 70 relief appearances, which would add another 50 to his career total.
Records are fun, but the Orioles need to make sure he still has enough gas in the tank to get through October.Tyler grew up in Massachusetts and is a huge Boston sports fan, especially the Red Sox. He went to Tufts University and played club baseball for the Jumbos. Since graduating, he has worked for MLB.com, The Game Day, FanDuel and Forbes.
