Twins' Brandon Kintzler: Closes door on Mariners' 9th inning threat
Kintzler picked up the save in Saturday's win over the Mariners by allowing only one single in his inning of work.
Analysis:
The one-run lead Kintzler had upon starting the ninth was threatened when Robinson Cano and Nelson Cruz both reached base to begin the inning -- the latter on an error by Miguel Sano -- but Kyle Seager grounded into a double play, and Adam Lind flied out to end the game. This conversion marked Kinztler's 15th save in 18 chances.
