The Blown Save Loophole

Jeurys Familia comes in to pitch the ninth with the Mets leading the Dodgers 5-1. He allowes four runs, the last three coming in when Chase Utley hits a two-out, bases loaded double to drive in three runs and tie the game. Mets fans must really love that, given they see Utley as a villain.

Of course, this blown lead won’t show up in the stats. Since it was not a save situation when Familia entered the game, his perfect save percentage remains intact. It’s a small problem with the stat.
