St. Louis Cardinals closer Ryan Helsley had a rare off night on Thursday, allowing three runs on four hits to blow the save and take the loss in a 5-4 defeat at the hands of the Chicago Cubs. The fireballer allowed a one-out solo homer to Cody Bellinger and then unraveled after he recorded the second out, giving up three hits including a walk-off two-run double to pinch-hitter Mike Tauchman. All of Helsley's pitch data looked good in this one, so it's probably just a blip on the radar. He has been fantastic this year and leads the MLB with 33 saves, so it's tough to complain about one bad outing.
