1⁄3 innings with a walk and a strikeout. In Game 4, he faced three batters, retiring two of them, one by way of strikeout.

After a few poor outings to begin 2007 spring training, Kinney had season-ending Tommy John surgery to repair a tear in his ulnar collateral ligament. [3] A fractured elbow while rehabbing in 2007 further delayed his return, and Kinney did not make it back to the Cardinals until September 2008. [4] He made a four-game rehab stint with Double-A Springfield. He then pitched in seven games in 2008 for the Cardinals, and did not give up a run in seven innings.

Kinney made the St. Louis Cardinals team out of spring training in 2009 but was optioned back to Memphis on April 17 after three appearances. He was recalled on June 18, but sent back on July 26. During that stint, Kinney earned his first Major League win, against the Minnesota Twins, on June 27 with 1.1 scoreless innings, allowing two hits and stranding two runners. He was recalled in the September call-up on September 23.

For 2010, Kinney was with the Memphis Redbirds for their entire season. Despite pitching well, having 17 saves and a 1.80 ERA, [5] the Cardinals took him off their 40-man roster on July 2. Moreover, he was not part of the Cards' September call-up.

Chicago White Sox

On January 9, 2011, Kinney signed a deal with the Chicago White Sox. He was called up on August 19 to replace Philip Humber, who was hit in the head by a line drive and was placed on the disabled list. He became a free agent on October 18.

Seattle Mariners

Kinney signed a minor league contract with the Seattle Mariners on December 13, 2011. He made 35 appearances for the Mariners in the 2012 season. After the season, Kinney was re-signed to a one-year deal, but never pitched in the majors again. [6] On March 11, 2013, Kinney injured his rib. [7] [8]

Pittsburgh Pirates

Kinney signed a minor league contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates after the 2013 season. He became a free agent after the 2014 season. [9] [10]
