Earlier this week, the Chicago White Sox saw their new relief pitcher reach a big-time milestone. Craig Kimbrel has been very good since coming over in a trade with the Chicago Cubs at the trade deadline. It is a risky trade that they made but it has worked out well so far.
In Monday’s win over the Oakland A’s, Kimbrel threw his 1000th career strikeout.
