The Pirates have the potential for one of the best bullpens in the game. David Bednar has been one of the best relievers over the last few years, while Aroldis Chapman has one of the best strikeout rates during this time. So far in the young 2024 season, the Pirates have yet to get both pitchers on track at the same time.
Bednar opened the year with three blown saves, before looking like he bounced back on Friday with an authoritative save.
The Pirates had Chapman performing up until this point. The free agent addition blew a save on Saturday night, and picked up the loss on Monday with three runs allowed in less than an inning.
