3 years agoPhiladelphia Phillies relief pitcher Ian Kennedy pitched around a one-out single to collect his 22nd save of the season Thursday afternoon at the Nationals. It was a nice bounce-back effort by the veteran reliever after he suffered a blown save in his previous outing. Kennedy hasn't been great for the Phillies as he has a 5.73 ERA since being acquired at the trade deadline. Most of that damage has come in non-save situations, however, as Kennedy is 6-for-7 in save chances for the Phillies as he seems to have a strong grip on the closer role in Philadelphia. He won't post gaudy strikeout totals or elite ratios, but Kennedy needs to be rostered in any fantasy league that rewards saves.--Mike Schwarzenbach - RotoBaller
