Red Sox's Craig Kimbrel: Fails, but Boston clinches division

Kimbrel failed to convert a save opportunity Wednesday, allowing a hit and three walks while being charged with four runs and the loss in Boston's 5-3 loss to the Yankees. Despite the blown save, the Red Sox clinched the AL East when Toronto lost earlier in the evening.

Analysis:

The rain was falling in New York when Kimbrel entered the game, which may have contributed to his location problems -- just 13 of his 28 pitches were strikes. He was yanked in favor of Joe Kelly, who served up a grand slam to Mark Teixeira. The performance was shocking after Kimbrel had been lights-out since mid-August.
