Alex Lange Records His First Save On Monday
3 years agoDetroit Tigers relief pitcher Alex Lange pitched a perfect ninth inning in the team's 4-3 win over the Chicago White Sox. He allowed no hits or walks in a scoreless inning and earned his first save of the year. The 25-year-old right-hander has pitched well out of the bullpen this month. He's made nine appearances and has only surrendered a run on one occasion. He has a 1.86 ERA and 10 strikeouts over 9.2 innings in September. The Tigers have won three straight games and three different relievers have earned saves in those three games with Michael Fulmer and Kyle Funkhouser earning saves on Saturday and Sunday, respectively. The Tigers may be going with a committee approach the rest of the way now that Gregory Soto (finger) is out for the season. Fulmer has 10 saves on the year and is the most likely option for saves, but we could get more clarity on the situation next time a save opportunity pops up.
