In an exciting matchup between the San Diego Padres and the St. Louis Cardinals, it was Cardinals reliever Ryan Helsley who saved the game in the ninth, even though he was the one who failed to save the game in the ninth inning.
With postseason hopes on the line, Helsley faced a high-stakes situation in the ninth inning with the game tied and the Padres threatening with runners on first and third and only one out.
The Padres had their dynamic duo at the plate, with Fernando Tatis Jr. and Juan Soto, two of the most electrifying players in the game.

Helsley, undaunted by the pressure, unleashed his fastball with ferocity, and it reached a staggering speed of 102 miles per hour. First, he sent Tatis Jr. back to the dugout with a strikeout that stunned fans and analysts alike. But he wasn’t done yet.
With the game still on the line, Helsley faced Juan Soto, another formidable force at the plate. With the same relentless determination, Helsley challenged Soto and also earned the victory with a crucial strikeout.
The Padres, who desperately needed this victory to keep their postseason dreams alive, were devastated by Helsley’s remarkable performance.
