In 25 save opportunities this year the Nats have blown 11 of them. Hunter 4, Edwards 2, Thompson 2, Finnegan 2 (with 10 saves), Ramirez 1.

Josh Hader has the highest percentage of saves in opportunities in MLB at 86%. Kyle Finnegan is second at 83%.

Let's say the Nats hadn't blown just 5 of those saves. They would be 26-24 and right in the thick of it. With the starting pitching they're getting, they could be in it if they hadn't blown so many save opportunities.

The following link does not include yesterday's blown save:

A blown save is not a blown game in the 9th. For instance, Mason Thompson's blown saves came in the 8th and 7th innings, respectively.
