In the first installment of this series, posted yesterday, Anthony Young relieved starter Jim Bullinger to post a four-inning save. Bullinger got the “win” in that game.
Just a few days short of a year later, it was Bullinger, who had been removed from the rotation earlier in 1996, posting a four-inning save in relief of Frank Castillo against the Padres at Wrigley Field.
In that game, June 16, 1996, the Cubs had again taken a big early lead, and after five innings led 8-3, with a pair of four-run innings, one of them off Fernando Valenzuela, who was in his second-to-last season.
