what is a blown save
Best Answer: A blown save by definition is when a pitcher comes in, in a save situation and allows the score to be tied up or the other team to go ahead. A save situation is at least one out in the 7th, for the purposes of a blown save.(A pitcher can get a save, even with no outs in the 7th, however, but a blown save does not work that way.) That's what happened tonight with Franklin.es, a pitcher could get a save by pitching the 6th - 9th innings. But a blown save is slightly different. There must be at least one out in the 7th. EDIT: You keep saying it's not a save situation until the 9th, but that's not true.
