With playoffs approaching, Craig Kimbrel giving Red Sox a reason to worry

BOSTON -- Craig Kimbrel relocated to Boston this season because the Red Sox can picture him recording the final out of the World Series.

One lousy week hasn't clouded their vision.

Still, if you slipped truth serum into their postgame meals after Kimbrel's latest dud here Saturday night, the Sox would have to admit their confidence in Kimbrel has taken at least a slight hit, even though the hard-throwing closer didn't give up any in a 4-3 loss to the desperate Toronto Blue Jays.

And that's kind of the point.
