Alex Lange Grabs Save Sunday
1 year agoDetroit Tigers reliever Alex Lange picked up his 18th save of the season Sunday, holding down a 4-1 win over the Cleveland Guardians. Lange pitched a scoreless inning where he didn't allow a baserunner and didn't strike out a batter. This makes four consecutive scoreless outings after a rough stretch that ended in him losing the closer role. This save doesn't necessarily mean he's back as the closer, as new frontrunner Jason Foley had pitched on consecutive days, but it does show that the Tigers trust Lange enough to be put into high-leverage situations. For now, Lange doesn't need to be rostered outside of deep category leagues, but keep an eye on the situation in Detroit as it could change quickly.
