Alex Lange Earns 19th Save Of Season Tuesday
1 year agoDetroit Tigers relief pitcher Alex Lange picked up his 19th save of the season in Tuesday's 8-6 win over the Cubs. Lange entered the game to pitch the ninth inning up by two. He got the first out on a groundout, allowed a single, got the second out on a strikeout, and got the final out on another groundout. While Lange has served as the team's primary closer for most of the season, he has been splitting opportunities with Jason Foley lately. Lange has now converted all but three save opportunities with a 3.62 ERA, an 11.42 K/9 rate, and a 7.07 BB/9 rate. The overall lack of save opportunities and the high walk rate make Lange a viable option only in deeper roto leagues at this time.
