Villanueva picked up a three-inning save Saturday against the Cubs, allowing no runs and just one hit. He struck out three and walked a pair. The Cardinals had an 8-1 lead entering the sixth inning, and they just handed things off to Villanueva. As he's done so often this year, he cleaned things up pretty efficiently. Villanueva's been a revelation out of the St. Louis bullpen this year, but he mostly sees low-leverage work -- he still has no holds in 18 appearances for baseball's winningest team.
