The St. Louis Cardinals beat the New York Mets on Wednesday night, ending Jeurys Familia's string of 52 straight saves.

Familia hadn't blown a regular-season save opportunity since July 30, 2015.

His franchise-record saves streak was the third longest in major league history, behind Tom Gordon (54) and Eric Gagne (84).

"They made good contact on my sinker, and I walked a guy and [Yadier] Molina came and jumped on the first pitch, and that's it," he said.
