Rangers closer Shawn Kelley spoke with Fanatics View following the team’s 8-5 victory over the Blue Jays.

Kelley spoke on reliever Jose Leclerc’s solid 7th inning vs the Blue Jays.

“Awesome, I went up to him and told him ‘man that looked like you'”, Kelly said. “I fully expect him to bounce back and pitch like that”, he finished.

In addition, Kelley discussed his transition to becoming the Rangers’ new closer.

“I’m going to be overly-aggressive”, “I’m an attack-oriented strike thrower, I hate walking people”, Kelley spoke. Finishing the interview, Kelley spoke on Isiah Kiner-Falefa’s progression behind the plate and offensively. “I’ve seen Kiner get better almost weekly – he gets better every time he catches”, he said. “He’s starting to learn us, you’re seeing him mature behind the plate right in front of us”, Kelley finished.
