Red Sox Closer Craig Kimbrel Chasing MLB History With Incredible 2017 Season
Boston Red Sox closer Craig Kimbrel is chasing history with his incredible run so far in the 2017 season.
Kimbrel almost is automatic when he comes out to close a game for Boston. Kimbrel is 17-for-18 in save opportunities this season, and leads all major-league relievers in strikeouts per nine innings with 17.89.
The right-hander now is second in MLB history in career K/9 behind New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman.
