Bednar picked up the save in Sunday's 2-1 victory over St. Louis, tossing a scoreless ninth in which he allowed one hit and zero walks while striking out one. Bednar locked down the ninth inning for a second consecutive night and is now 13-for-14 in save opportunities this season. He's given up runs in just two of his 24 appearances and sports a 1.13 ERA, 0.75 WHIP and 30:1 K:BB across 24 innings. The right-hander is just six saves away from tying his career-best mark, which he set last year during his first full season as a closer.... See More ... See Less

Pirates' David Bednar: Nails down 12th save
Bednar gave up a hit in a scoreless ninth inning Saturday to record his 12th save of the season in a 4-3 win over the Cardinals. He didn't walk or strike out a batter. The right-hander failed to fan a batter for only the second time in his last 16 appearances, but he still got the job done. Bednar has been one of baseball's top closers to begin 2023, converting 12 of 13 save chances with a 1.17 ERA, 0.74 WHIP and 29:1 K:BB through 23 innings, and with the Pirates currently in contention for a division title in a wide-open NL Central, trade chatter around the 28-year-old has died down considerably even with arbitration approaching this winter....

Pirates' David Bednar: Notches 11th save
Bednar gave up a hit and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning Friday to record his 11th save of the season in a 7-5 win over the Cardinals. The right-hander continued a dominant run that has seen him convert seven straight save chances dating back to April 15 while posting a 21:0 K:BB and getting scored upon in only one of his 17 appearances during that time. Bednar is now tied for fourth in the National League in saves, three back of league leader Camilo Doval.... See More ... See Less -
Pirates' David Bednar: Picks up 10th save
Bednar struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Giants. Bednar's last save came April 29, as the Pirates' early success has largely dwindled throughout May. He's pitched eight times this month, allowing two runs on six hits with 11 strikeouts and no walks over eight innings, so he's at least provided solid work despite the lack of saves. For the season, the Pittsburgh closer has converted 10 of 11 save chances with a 1.29 ERA, 0.71 WHIP and 28:1 K:BB through 21 innings.... See More ... See Less -
Pirates' David Bednar: Shaky in non-save situation
Bednar allowed two earned runs on two hits while striking out two in the ninth inning of Monday's win over the Rangers. Bednar entered the game to begin the ninth inning with a 6-2 lead. He allowed a leadoff single and a subsequent two-run homer, though he managed to hold the lead for the Pirates. Bednar hasn't had a save opportunity since April 29 due to the team's struggles, though he is still the locked-in closer and has a 1.50 ERA with a 0.93 WHIP and 24:1 K:BB across 18 frames this season....

Pirates' David Bednar: Nails down seventh save
Bednar struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Friday to record his seventh save of the season in a 4-2 win over the Reds.

Pirates' David Bednar: Grabs sixth save
Bednar picked up the save in Thursday's 4-3 victory over the Reds, logging a strikeout in a clean ninth inning. Bednar made quick work of the Reds on Thursday, recording three outs on 12 pitches to earn his sixth save of the year. The Pittsburgh native is now 6-for-7 in save opportunities as he lowers his ERA to 1.00. Bednar is 2-1 with a 0.89 WHIP and 9:1 K:BB through nine innings to start the season, and he's gotten more save chances than expected on a surprising 13-7 Pirates team.... See More ... See Less -

Pirates' David Bednar: Picks up win with scoreless frame

Bednar was given a two-run lead in the ninth inning, but the right-hander gave up a two-run double to Chas McCormick to blow his first save of the season.

Bednar struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning Tuesday to record his third save of the season in a 4-1 win over the Red Sox.

Pirates' David Bednar: Impressing for USA
Bednar has allowed one run across three innings while striking out five and walking none while pitching for the USA in the World Baseball Classic. Bednar had struggled a bit in camp with the Pirates, as he served up two homers and walked two across only three innings of Grapefruit League action. However, he's put up significantly better results in the World Baseball Classic, a reassuring sign as Opening Day approaches. Bednar should be Pittsburgh's locked-in closer while also providing plenty of strikeouts with decent ratios.... See More ... See Less -
