White Sox's Craig Kimbrel: Pitches clean inning

Kimbrel tossed a clean eighth inning, allowing no baserunners while striking out one in Tuesday's win over the Pirates.

The 33-year-old was able to pick up a hold and avoid giving up any runs in the contest, something he'd only done twice in his previous six outings. He has struggled since joining the White Sox at the trade deadline, surrendering nine earned runs in 11.1 innings pitched after he had only given up a total of two earned runs in 37.2 innings for the Cubs prior to getting dealt. Some of his struggles can likely be attributed to his new role as a setup man, which he is unfamiliar with.
