| 9/26/24 | Cardinals Flamethrower One Outing Away From Breaking Incredible Franchise Record. The St. Louis Cardinals have plenty to address this winter as the club looks to rebound from missing the playoffs for a second straight year but at least the bullpen should stay intact. In a season full of inconsistent performances from key players, the Cardinals' relief core remained a reliable constant for the club -- ranking No. 7 in the league with a 3.62 ERA. The bullpen's success this year couldn't have been possible without its leader, who has the chance to set a remarkable franchise record before the season ends. Cardinals right-handed pitcher Ryan Helsley logged his No. 48 save of the season Wednesday night against the Colorado Rockies in a 5-2 victory, tying the franchise record for most single-season saves since RHP Trevor Rosenthal's 2015 performance.

By the time the top half of the eighth finished, there was little doubt Helsley would be called upon in the ninth. Helsley, the National League saves leader, retired the side in order in the ninth, on three strikeouts, and earned his 46th save of the season — 25 at Busch Stadium — and put the finishing touches on a 6-5 Cardinals win over the freshly-minted AL Central Division champion Cleveland Guardians (they clinched earlier in the night) in front of an announced crowd of 41,317 at Busch Stadium on Saturday night.
