Craig Kimbrel became the eighth pitcher in major league history to earn 400 saves, Brandon Marsh hit a go-ahead, two-run single in the sixth inning and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Atlanta Braves 6-4.
ATLANTA, GA - MAY 26: Bryson Stott #5 and Brandon Marsh #16 dunk a cooler of water onto Craig Kimbrel #31 of the Philadelphia Phillies after Kimbrell recorded his 400th career save during the 6-4 win against the Atlanta Braves the game at Truist ParkCraig Kimbrel had a feeling this would be a special night, so he wanted about 30 to 40 family members and friends from Alabama to come watch him reach a rare milestone.
Making his 730th career appearance, the 34-year-old Kimbrel worked a scoreless ninth inning to get his sixth save in six chances this season. Of the seven previous relievers to reach 400 saves, only Mariano Rivera , Trevor Hoffman and Kenley Jansen hit the threshold in under 800 appearances. He said he never set out to break records or join exclusive lists, but his career has worked out pretty well.
"I had some things go on early in the season with injuries and I guess that kind of affected some of my mechanics," Harris said. "I just had to bring that back once I was 100%. It’s really tough. You’ve got to keep telling yourself to stay patient, just believe in yourself and play the game that you play."
Atlanta trimmed the lead to 2-1 in the fourth. Travis d'Arnaud doubled, advanced to third on Marcell Ozuna's single and scored on Eddie Rosario's sacrifice fly.
