Blows first save 2025 Bautista gave up a run on one hit and two walks in the ninth inning Wednesday to blow his first save of the season in an 8-4 extra-innings win over the Brewers. He struck out one.

Impact With the Orioles nursing a 3-2 lead, Bautista came in and fanned Rhys Hoskins to begin the ninth, but walks to Sal Frelick and Jake Bauers set up Caleb Durbin to slap a game-tying single into right field. Bautista has now been tagged for at least one run in four straight appearances while posting a 3:5 K:BB in 3.2 innings, and the rough stretch has sent his ERA soaring from 1.64 to 4.30. There's been no indication that the right-hander's spot as Baltimore's closer is in jeopardy, but Andrew Kittredge's return from the IL on Wednesday gives new manager Tony Mansolino another high-leverage option to turn to if he decides to make a change.

Up to five saves in 2025 Bautista picked up the save in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Yankees after throwing a clean ninth inning. He struck out one.

Impact Eight of Bautista's 10 pitches landed for strikes, so it was a relatively easy night for the big right-hander. Bautista has pitched well in spite of a troublesome 15.8 percent walk rate in 2025 after missing all of last season due to Tommy John surgery, turning in a 2.00 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 11:6 K:BB over nine innings while going a perfect 5-for-5 on save chances. The Orioles have just six save opportunities to date, which ranks 29th in the major leagues, and Bautista didn't see his first chance until the April 12 win over the Blue Jays.
