After blowing six-run lead in ninth, Braves call up ex-Red Sox closer
The Atlanta Braves had a comfortable 10-4 lead going into the top of the ninth inning. But then disaster struck and the Arizona Diamondbacks scored seven runs to eventually win, 11-10. After the collapse, the Braves decided to call up reinforcement from Triple-A in the form of Craig Kimbrel, The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal reported. Advertisement The former Boston Red Sox closer signed a minor league deal with Atlanta in March. In 15 games for the Gwinnett Stripers, Kimbrel has 2.45 ERA with 17 strikeouts and a 1.09 WHIP. The Braves fell to 27-34 with Thursday's loss and are now 11½ games back of first place in the National League East. It's unclear what kind role Kimbrel — who has the fifth-most saves in MLB with 440 — will play for the Braves as they look to get their bullpen on track. Kimbrel last pitched in MLB in 2024 when he made 57 appearances for the Baltimore Orioles. More Red Sox coverage Read the original article on MassLive.
