Los Angeles closer Craig Kimbrel had a rough first four months in Dodger Blue, posting a 4.57 ERA in his first 44 appearances and blowing all four one-run save opportunities he was given.
On August 17 in Milwaukee, Kimbrel finally broke his one-run skid, saving a 2-1 win for the Dodgers but putting the tying and winning runs on base in the ninth before shutting the door.
Four days later, the Dodgers went with a gimmick for Women’s Day by letting the players’ significant others choose their walkup and walkout songs. Ashley Kimbrel (with help from their four-year-old daughter, Lydia) chose Idina Menzel’s “Let It Go” from the movie Frozen for Craig.
