Detroit Tigers – Jason Foley struck out a pair in a perfect 9th inning to record his 7th save of the season. Foley has recoreded the last three saves for the Tigers and one more should be enough to kick the asterisk.
Hierarchy remains: *Foley | Brieske | Cisnero.
* = closer-by-committee
Los Angeles Angels – As predicted in the Vulture Save Watch, Carlos Estevez received the day off and Reynaldo Lopez picked up the save in game one of their doubleheader.
