Pitching for the fourth straight day, Reds closer Aroldis Chapman took a blown save after giving up one earned run on two hits and one walk in the ninth inning and striking out one in his team's 7-3, 11-inning win against the Giants Saturday.
It was the second time in his career Chapman has pitched on four straight days, and while he didn't have trouble with his velocity, he did show a little bit of a struggle with his control. He needed 31 pitches to get through the ninth inning and will assuredly be given Sunday (and maybe Monday) off to rest. Chapman owns a 2.66 ERA and 46:8 K:BB ratio in 23 2/3 innings.
