Jose Valverde tossed a shutout frame on Wednesday to earn his 49th and final save of the regular season. It has been a thoroughly dominating campaign for Valverde: 49-for-49 in save opportunities, a 2.24 ERA, and a 1.19 WHIP, all while averaging nearly one strikeout per inning. The Tigers certainly kept him busy, especially during the last two months, when he compiled 22 saves in 28 appearances. Along these lines, it's worth noting that the 33-year-old compiled career highs in both games and innings pitched.
