Greene earned the save in Wednesday's 3-2 victory over the Royals, pitching a scoreless ninth inning with one hit and a strikeout.

EDGE Analysis

Greene now stands at second in the majors behind Kirby Yates with 20 saves on the season. Through his 27 appearances, the right-hander has been a solid ninth-inning stopper, compiling a 1.00 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 29:7 K:BB. After a rocky 2018 in which he posted a 5.12 ERA, the 30-year-old reliever has been lights-out so far this season with a 1.00 ERA and 29 strikeouts through 27 innings of work. The struggling Tigers -- Greene has 20 saves in the team's 25 wins -- could decide to move the closer before the trade deadline while his value is at a high-water mark.
