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.

Greene allowed one hit in a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 9-6 win over the Rays. He had one strikeout and zero walks.
EDGE Analysis
It didn't look like Greene's services would be required Tuesday with the Tigers leading 9-2 heading into the eighth inning, but a grand slam closed the gap and gave him the chance to secure his 19th save. The 30-year-old has a 1.08 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 28:7 K:BB this season and has blown only one save in 20 chances.

Greene allowed one hit but struck out two in the ninth inning to record the save Wednesday against the Orioles
EDGE Analysis
Greene was given a two-run cushion as he entered the game in the ninth inning. While he did allow a two-out double, he got Pedro Severino to fly out to end the game and secure his 18th save of the season. Greene has blown only one save on the season, producing a pristine 1.13 ERA and 0.83 WHIP with 27 strikeouts across 24 innings.

Greene worked a scoreless ninth inning with a strikeout to record the save in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Greene continues to rack up the saves, as he now has 17 in 18 opportunities this season to go with a stellar 1.17 ERA. The Tigers only have 20 wins this season, so they've clearly relied quite heavily on their closer. After posting a 5.12 ERA and 1.37 WHIP in 2018, Greene has been markedly better this year, and if nothing else, he's significantly increased his trade value the first few months of the season.

Greene pitched a perfect ninth inning to record the save in Friday's 9-8 win over the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Greene needed just seven pitches to retire the Mets' top three hitters and record his 16th save of the season. It's been 12 days in between saves for the veteran, with one blown save in that time for good measure, as a 19-29 Detroit squad has struggled to present him with leads to protect. Greene still has plenty of fantasy value, however, as he has a strong 1.23 ERA and a pretty firm hold on the closer role.

Greene gave up one hit while striking out one through a scoreless inning Sunday to record his 15th save in a 5-3 win over the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander allowed the tying run to get to the plate with two outs, but he retired C.J. Cron promptly to earn the save. After not registering a save since May 3, Greene has delivered a closure on consecutive days, the latest success in a resurgent campaign, during which he has a 0-1 record with a 1.50 ERA and 15 saves.

Greene secured his 13th save of the season Friday against the Royals, allowing one run on two hits while striking out two in one inning.
EDGE Analysis
While Greene got the job done, he was far from dominant in this one. The right-hander entered with a two-run lead and proceeded to fan the first batter he faced before serving up a solo homer to Jorge Soler. Greene recorded another strikeout before allowing a two-out double to Ryan O'Hearn, who he ultimately left stranded there by getting Martin Maldonado to pop out. The 30-year-old Greene is now a perfect 13-for-13 on save chances and owns a 1.80 ERA, 0.73 WHIP and 19:3 K:BB through 15 innings.

Greene struck out the side in a scoreless ninth inning to record the save in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Greene allowed a leadoff single to J.T. Realmuto but then settled in to strike out three straight Philadelphia hitters to end the game. The veteran closer is now a perfect 12-for-12 in save opportunities this season to go along with a stellar 1.29 ERA. If nothing else, Greene has certainly enhanced his trade value in the early going.
