Rare baseball day ends without save

NEW YORK – There was no saving baseball during a wild Saturday full of blowouts and walk-off wins.

It marked the first time in nearly three decades a full day of major league games was played without a save recorded.

There were six blown saves in the 15-game schedule, including two each in Pittsburgh’s 7-6 victory over Washington and Cincinnati’s 3-2 win against Colorado.

The last time baseball went a complete day without a save was Sept. 15, 1978.
