Craig Kimbrel recorded the 400th save of his Major League career by working a scoreless bottom of the ninth in the Philadelphia Phillies’ 6-4 victory over the Atlanta Braves in a National League game on Friday night.
Kimbrel became the eighth player in Major League history with 400 saves, and he was third-fastest to reach the milestone. Kimbrel got his 400th save in his 730th game.
Mariano Rivera took 697 games and Trevor Hoffman needed 706 outings to reach 400 saves.
Rivera and Hoffman are the top two in saves in MLB history with 652 and 601, respectively.
