Nationals One Blown Save From Record | Washington Nationals News

0:00On September 6th, the Washington Nationals are now just one blown save away from tying the Major League Baseball Record for most blown saves in A. Single season. This past Saturday, they managed to squander a lead against the Los Angeles Dodgers, marking their 36 blown save of the year. This latest stumble came after their ace pitcher, Cade Cavali, had battled through an early deficit. The team had even taken a two run lead in the seventh inning, only for the bullpen to falter once again. The pitcher responsible for giving up the go ahead runs was Clayton Beater, who had been considered a potential closer for the team. His outing saw him give up a crucial three run homer that swung the game back in favor of the Dodgers. This season's struggles with relief pitching have been a consistent theme for the Nationals. It appears the front office didn't prioritize strengthening the bullpen in the offseason, despite past issues. With only a few weeks left in the season, this period is shaping up to be an important evaluation for every reliever on the roster as they look to.
