The Cincinnati Reds’ bullpen blew 3 saves in April all after the tenth of the month. That isn’t too awful considering about one blown save every 10 days in the norm in the majors. What is disappointing is that the blown saves were spread across three relievers and none of them was Raisel Iglesias, the closer.
Drew Storen was one of two in save opportunities. He was able to close the first win of the season of year against the Philadelphia Phillies. Then on the first trip to Pittsburgh this season, Storen gave up an unearned running, costing the Reds the lead, but giving Storen the eventual win.
