Alex Lange Notches Fifth Save
2 years agoDetroit Tigers relief pitcher Alex Lange picked up his fifth save of the season on Thursday, finishing off a 2-0 shutout victory over the New York Mets. He struck out a pair and allowed just a single in his inning of work. Lange has been fantastic for the Tigers, turning in 11 straight scoreless outings and striking out 18 in 11 innings in those outings. All five of his saves have also come in that time, as he has been given more opportunities with the Tigers heating up a bit. He isn't likely to keep getting a ton of save chances, but he looks like a good bet to convert on them when he does get the opportunity. He should be owned wherever saves are valued.
