3 years agoPhiladelphia Phillies relief pitcher Ian Kennedy pitched 1 1/3 innings on Friday at San Diego to pick up his 20th save of the season. Kennedy was summoned into a bases-loaded jam in the eighth inning and proceeded to hit Fernando Tatis Jr. to force in a run. The right-hander then whiffed Manny Machado to escape the inning with a one-run lead, which he would protect without issue in the bottom of the ninth. Kennedy got off to a rough start after being shipped from Texas to Philly at the trade deadline, but he's now tossed four straight scoreless outings and is yet to suffer a blown save with his new club. Kennedy should be rostered in all fantasy leagues where saves are rewarded.--Mike Schwarzenbach - RotoBaller
