Lange allowed one run on three walks and a hit batter across an inning of work in Monday's 9-3 loss to the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

After getting pulled from a save opportunity Saturday due to walking three batters, Lange struggled with his command again Monday. He's actually walked three batters in his last three games, bringing the righty to 37 free passes this year in just 45 innings. Lange has good raw stuff, but the Tigers may need to go in a different direction in the closer role at some point if the wildness keeps up.

Lange recorded two outs but also walked three batters and was pulled from a save opportunity in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Lange was called on for the top of the ninth inning but couldn't complete the frame, as he needed 20 pitches to retire two batters before he was replaced by Beau Brieske. When Lange struggles, it's often the free passes that catch up with him, and he now has a whopping 34 walks in 44 innings this season. He should still have some job security as Detroit's closer, but the team may decide to go in a different direction if Lange can't limit the walks moving forward.

Lange tossed a scoreless inning of relief in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Marlins. He struck out one.

EDGE Analysis

It wasn't a save situation, but the Tigers still used Lange, who hadn't pitched since Tuesday. The righty has now logged five straight appearances without allowing an earned run. He had allowed five earned runs over his five prior games, so this recent stretch is a step in the right direction. Lange should remain locked in as Detroit's closer, especially if he can keep up his recent level of performance.

Lange (5-3) allowed an unearned run to take the loss in Tuesday's extra-inning contest with the Angels. He gave up a hit and a walk, while also striking out one.

EDGE Analysis

Lange worked the 10th inning of a 6-6 game and allowed his inherited runner to score on a one-out Mickey Moniak double. The righty also walked Hunter Renfroe and uncorked a wild pitch, so it wasn't his sharpest outing even if he didn't allow any earned runs. Lange continues to mow batters down, as he now has 53 strikeouts in 41.2 innings, though he's also walked 28. He'll need to exhibit better control if he wants to avoid rough outings moving forward.

Lange picked up the save in Sunday's 3-1 victory over San Diego, tallying a walk and a strikeout in a scoreless ninth inning.

EDGE Analysis

After retiring the first two batters in the ninth, Lange walked Xander Bogaerts before Jake Cronenworth reached on an error, putting runners on second and third. However, Lange induced a flyout from Gary Sanchez to strand the tying runs aboard and earn his 17th save. The 27-year-old Lange appears to have settled in after a rocky June -- he's delivered three consecutive scoreless appearances while notching four straight saves. His ERA is down to 3.98 with a 1.28 WHIP and 52:27 K:BB across 40.2 innings this season.

Lange worked around a hit and a walk to pitch a scoreless ninth inning and record the save in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Royals. He struck out one.

EDGE Analysis

Lange was better in his last outing Monday, when he retired the side on 10 pitches, but he was still able to record his 16th save of the year Wednesday in 19 chances. The righty entered the contest with an 8.80 ERA since the beginning of June, though he's now strung together consecutive scoreless appearances, which could be a sign that he's beginning to turn things around.

EDGE Analysis

Lange needed just 10 pitches to retire Kansas City in order, giving him his 15th save of the season in 18 chances and second in the last three days. The righty has had some hiccups lately after starting the season very strongly, though he doesn't seem to be in danger of losing his grip on the closer job. Lange now has 50 strikeouts in 38.2 innings this year, pointing to his ability to dominate hitters, even if he hasn't been able to do so consistently.

Lange picked up the save Friday against the Mariners. He allowed one run on one hit and two walks over one inning. He had one strikeout.

EDGE Analysis

Lange bounced back after blowing a save in his last appearance July 9. The right-hander has posted a 5.40 ERA so far this month, but he's been serviceable overall this season and his 14 saves are tied for 17th in MLB.

Lange allowed two runs on a hit and a walk over an inning of work to blow the save in Sunday's extra-inning loss to the Blue Jays. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

Lange's up-and-down season continued, as he blew his third save opportunity in 16 chances. The righty was lights out through the end of May with a 1.16 ERA but he has a 9.45 ERA since then, pushing his season mark to 4.17. Lange figures to stick as Detroit's closer due to the team's lack of other options, but he's been a shaky fantasy contributor recently.

Lange picked up the save Saturday against the Blue Jays, striking out one over one scoreless inning.

EDGE Analysis

Lange entered the game in the ninth inning with a no-hit bid still intact for Detroit and went 1-2-3 through the top of Toronto's lineup. He whiffed the current hits leader in the American League, Bo Bichette, on three straight curveballs before forcing a flyout and a groundout in the next two at-bats and securing perhaps the biggest save of his career. Lange has now converted his last three save attempts, and he didn't issue a walk Saturday for the first time in his last five appearances.
