Description: Atlanta flamethrower Craig Kimbrel blew his first save of the 2013 campaign Wednesday in a loss at Colorado. | Insight: Take it easy, fantasy owners. Before Wednesday, Kimbrel hadn't given up a run all season. He still leads the majors in saves (eight) and we wouldn't expect too many more bumps in the road like this going forward. | | |

Description: Braves closer Craig Kimbrel struck out the side against the Marlins on Sunday to record his 16th save of the year. | Insight: Kimbrel hasn't allowed a hit since May 11 or a run since May 4.

Description: Kimbrel endured a tough first spring outing Saturday that included two walks, a double and a homer to go with just one recorded out. | Insight: One poor outing certainly doesn't spell doom for the rookie closer candidate, but he'll have to make this look like an outlier to win the job outright.
