Ian Kennedy Records 30th Save
5 years agoKansas City Royals relief pitcher Ian Kennedy did it. He reached the 30-save plateau in his first season as the team's closer, and he once again reminded all fantasy owners to never pay for saves and don't ignore closers on bad teams. Kennedy has now recorded saves in five straight appearances while allowing a total of three hits over the span. He continues to rock a strikeout rate over 10, his 3.28 ERA is excellent, and he's almost assuredly helping a number of teams in their push to win their league's playoffs. He's also made it a lot easier for Kansas City to swallow the last year of his $14M per year contract next season.
