Cements fourth save Wick earned the save against St. Louis on Tuesday, pitching 1.1 scoreless innings and allowing one walk while striking out three.
Impact Wick was called upon with two outs in the bottom of the eighth inning with Chicago staked to a three-run lead. He struck out Andrew Knizner to close out the frame, then worked around a one-out walk in the ninth inning to notch the save. Wick has allowed only one run over eight frames this season while notching an 8:1 K:BB. He appears to be locked in to the closer role for the Cubs.

Picks up third save Wick allowed a run on two hits but was able to record the save in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Brewers.
Impact Wick started the ninth inning by recording the first two outs in order, but he allowed Avisail Garcia to reach on a single.

The run was the first allowed this season by Wick, who has a 1.50 ERA and is 3-for-3 in save opportunities.

Records second save Wick pitched 1.1 scoreless innings to earn the save in Monday's 2-0 win over the Royals.
Impact This is the second save for Wick in the last three days, and while the team hasn't formally announced a change at closer, it appears manager David Ross is willing to try some alternatives to Craig Kimbrel, who has a 27.00 ERA through two appearances in 2020 and struggled most of last season. Both Wick and Jeremy Jeffress have picked up saves in the early going, and the lefty-righty combo figures to stay active late in games for the Cubs.

Earns save against Pirates Wick earned a two-out save despite allowing a walk in Saturday's win over the Pirates.
Impact Wick entered the game in the ninth inning after Kyle Ryan allowed three runs on three hits in 0.1 innings, and he got the job done despite issuing a walk. This was Wick's first save of the season and, while Craig Kimbrel should remain the closer for the time being, Wick should continue to hold a steady role in the bullpen for the foreseeable future.
