Dodgers fans knew it would be coming at some point this season. After letting Kenley Jansen walk in free agency, any minor slip-ups by Craig Kimbrel were sure to draw the ire of fans. So it’s not surprising that his first blown save of the season on Monday night brought out the worst reactions online.
The Dodgers jumped out ahead of the Pirates late last night. A double in the 8th inning by Justin Turner and a base hit by Chris Taylor tied up the game and then put them ahead. That set the stage for Kimbrel to come in and lock down his 11th save of the season.
