Analysis:

Kintzler has pitched just one time since last Saturday's victory in Boston, allowing his stay on the disabled list to be backdated to Apr. 8. In five appearances to date, the middle reliever has held the opposition scoreless on two hits and no walks, while striking out a pair in five frames.
