LIfted in ninth inning again​

Kimbrel was pulled in the ninth frame of Wednesday's game against the Nationals and was charged with two runs on two walks and a hit over two-thirds of an inning, though he was credited with a hold.
Advice: Kimbrel was called upon to protect a two-run ninth-inning lead and initially appeared set to do so with little trouble, as he retired the first two batters he faced. However, Eddie Rosario then tagged the veteran closer for a solo home run, and Kimbrel followed with two straight walks before he was given the hook.

Is it his devastating fastball? His crushing split-finger? Imanaga holds a 1.08 ERA this season through seven starts. Of course, his on-field production crafts an easy path for Cubs fans to love him.
