Royals' Ian Kennedy: Notches third save

Kennedy fired a scoreless ninth inning with a pair of strikeouts to earn the save Thursday against the Rangers.

Although Kennedy has been the front runner for saves, it's been hard to tell lately as the right-hander picked up Kansas City's first save in four weeks. Overall, Kennedy's blown two of five chances this season but leads the team with three. With the perfect inning, he holds a 4.18 ERA and 1.39 WHIP through 22 appearances.
