Cardinals on pace for grim record: Most blown saves in a season

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:51:00 GMT

PHOENIX - It looked like things were lining up Monday for Adam Wainwright to get a much-needed win in his push for 200 career victories. Until it wasn't. Although the Cardinals won Monday's series opener in Arizona, Wainwright's best chance at career win No. 199 was spoiled by the bullpen. Wainwright departed after five innings with a 5-2 Cardinals lead. By the end of the seventh inning, the Arizona Diamondbacks led 6-5, ending his chance of a milestone-building night. When the bullpen is unable to hold a lead left by the starting pitcher, that is known as a blown save. After Monday, the Cardinals have 23 of those as a team this year. After Monday's blown lead, Cardinals Twitter was quick to point out a disappointing trend. Right now, the Cardinals are tied for most blown saves in the league with the Chicago White Sox. The Cardinals are also on pace for 37 blown saves, which would be a new MLB record. Scott Rolen enshrined in baseball’s Hall of Fame, credits Cardinals and family ...
