The Phillies blew two saves in one game again on Wednesday
On Wednesday night, the Phillies blew their 31st and 32nd saves of the season.
They have led MLB in this embarrassing metric for most of the season, and just last week, they set a new franchise record with their 30th blown save of the year.
To put that number in context, the great Mariano Rivera, MLB’s all-time saves leader, blew 80 saves in his entire 19-year career.
