Moylan struck out the only two batters he faced Tuesday against the Tigers en route to his eighth save of the season.

EDGE Analysis

As Rustin Dodd of The Kansas City Star pointed out, Moylan's horrid 7.85 ERA and 1.53 WHIP are no indication of the reliever's success this season. In 22 of his 25 appearances, Moylan's worked his way to a 1.13 ERA (two runs over 16 innings); however, the veteran's other three outings (14 runs over 2.1 innings) combined for an unbelievable 96.57 ERA. Obviously a few implosions have disfigured the 38-year-old's surface stats, but his underlying effectiveness is strong. As May comes to a close, Moylan's eight holds rank in the AL's top-10, and he's on pace to tie a career high with 25 holds this season.
