A record for Reyes as the Cardinals reliever keeps his perfect save record intact

Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina, left, congratulates Alex Reyes, who on Sunday had just recorded his 24th consecutive save — a major-league record for most successful such opportunities to start a career.

For a job that Alex Reyes ultimately doesn’t want, it turns out he’s pretty good at it.

The Cardinals closer by necessity pitched a scoreless ninth inning on Sunday — but not until he had put the go-ahead run on base — to give the Cardinals a 2-1 win over the Giants and convert his 24th consecutive save attempt.
