Saturday marked the first time in Kimbrel's major-league career that he recorded a save of four or more outs by striking out every batter he faced. Since 1969, when saves became an official statistic, only one other pitcher besides Kimbrel has a save of that kind against the Yankees. On Sept. 24, 2005, Miguel Batista closed out a win for the Blue Jays by striking out all four Yankees he faced.allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.com
