• Cardinals' Alex Reyes: Notches ninth save

  1D ago •

  Reyes pitched a perfect seventh inning, striking out one to record the save during a win over the Mets in Game 1 of a doubleheader Wednesday. Reyes' nine saves tie him with Ian Kennedy for second in all of baseball. The 26-year-old is always a risk to issue multiple free passes, but even with 12 walks in 15.1 innings, he is a perfect 9-for-9 in save situations.

• Cardinals' Alex Reyes: Racks up eighth save

  3D ago •

  Reyes walked two in a scoreless ninth inning Monday to record his eighth save of the season in a 6-5 win over the Mets. The right-hander threw only eight of his 20 pitches for strikes in a nervous outing, but he was able to escape the jam he created. Reyes has yet to give up a run or blow a save through 14 appearances this season, but his 15:12 K:BB in 14.1 innings makes his position as closer perhaps a little more tenuous than his surface stats would indicate.

• Cardinals' Alex Reyes: Secures seventh save

  Reyes struck out one in a perfect ninth inning to earn the save against the Pirates on Sunday. Reyes needed only 12 pitches to get through Sunday's outing, and he earned his seventh save of the year by retiring all three of the batters he faced. The right-hander hasn't allowed a baserunner in his last three innings, and he hasn't yet given up a run in 13.1 innings across 13 appearances this season.

• Cardinals' Alex Reyes: Picks up first victory

  6D ago •

  Reyes (1-0) was credited with the victory in an extra-inning win over the Phillies on Thursday, firing two perfect innings during which he recorded three strikeouts. The right-hander was refreshingly sharp, getting his six outs on 25 pitches, 18 of which found the strike zone. Reyes has made it virtually impossible for manager Mike Shildt to remove him from high-leverage duties -- and the closer's role specifically -- by firing 12.1 scoreless frames and going 6-for-6 in save opportunities across his first 12 appearances. Reyes has also now stayed away from issuing free passes entirely in back-to-back outings for the first time all season, an encouraging development considering his still-elevated 19.2 percent walk rate.

• Cardinals' Alex Reyes: Locks down sixth save

  9D ago •

  Reyes picked up his sixth save of the year with a scoreless ninth inning against the Phillies, giving up one hit while recording a pair of strikeouts. Reyes had a strong outing, as he struck out two batters and didn't surrender a walk for the first time in his last four appearances. The 26-year-old is third in MLB with six saves and somehow still sports an unblemished ERA despite posting an 11:10 K:BB and 1.55 WHIP over 10.1 innings.
