Craig Kimbrel is no Longer the Closer for the L.A. Dodgers

Craig Kimbrel is no longer the closer for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Kim bred a poor season and has blown five saves in 27 chances. Chris Martin, Evan Phillips, and Brusdar Graterol will be the next closer. The team will go with a committee involving ChrisMartin, Gratterol, or someone else. Clayton Kershaw will face Jordan Montgomery of the St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series on Saturday.
