Meanwhile, it was business as usual for the Padres' bullpen, which delivered a solid outing in relief of Kennedy to help the veteran righty secure his seventh win of the season. Dale Thayer, Shawn Kelley, Joaquin Benoit and Craig Kimbrel combined for four innings of shutout baseball while surrendering only two hits and one walk combined. Kelley collected three straight strikeouts in the seventh, while Kimbrel converted his 32nd save of the season. With his 32nd save of 2015, Kimbrel now has the third-most saves in Major League Baseball this year.
