Greene recorded the save in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Twins with a perfect ninth inning. He struck out two.
EDGE Analysis
It didn't look like Greene was going to get a save opportunity, but then the Tigers pounced for four runs in the bottom of the eighth inning to move ahead 5-2. Greene made quick work of the Twins, striking out Ehire Adrianza and Max Kepler to end the game. The 29-year-old closer makes things interesting at times, but he's generally been steady if not spectacular in the role, as he's now 16-for-19 in save opportunities with a 3.90 ERA.

Greene (2-3) took the loss Friday against the Indians, allowing three earned runs on two hits and a walk in an inning of work.
EDGE Analysis
Detroit starter MIchael Fulmer and reliever Joe Jimenez kept the game tied 1-1 through eight innings, but Greene really struggled in the ninth. He retired two of the first three hitters he faced, but then allowed a single to Yonder Alonso followed by a three-run home run to Jason Kipnis that broke the game open. Greene now has a 4.15 ERA and 1.32 WHIP as he remains a volatile source of saves.

Greene struck out the side and recorded his 15th save of the season in Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Greene has been on a little bit of a roll lately, as he's allowed just one earned run over his last seven appearances to go along with five saves during that span. The Tigers have been more competitive than anticipated, which has led to 18 save opportunities so far for the 29-year-old righty. Greene seems to have a fairly secure hold on the closer's role at the moment and should push for 30 or more saves if he keeps performing well and stays healthy.

Greene allowed one run on two hits and struck out one Sunday as he notched save No. 13 against the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Greene came into the game with a two-run lead, but surrendered a solo home run to Jose Rondon before recording the final out of the game. He's now converted on seven of his last eight save opportunities, and he's sporting a 4.07 ERA with 27 strikeouts across 24.1 innings. Greene figures to be a reliable closer out of the Detroit bullpen moving forward.

Greene worked around a hit to toss a scoreless inning and record the save in Friday's 5-4 win over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Greene gave up a hit to start the ninth inning, but he quickly got out of trouble by inducing a double play, then ended the game by striking out Daniel Palka. The 29-year-old has his shaky moments, though he seems to have a decent hold on the closer's role in Detroit for the time being. He's now 12-for-15 in save opportunities this season with a 3.86 ERA.

Greene pitched a clean inning Tuesday against the Twins en route to earning his 11th save.
EDGE Analysis
Greene needed just eight pitches to retire three batters, recovering nicely from a blown save his last time out. Wednesday's outing was the third of his last four without a strikeout, but the 29-year-old is still averaging more than a strikeout per inning with a 25:8 K:BB through 22.1 innings.

Greene blew his third save of the season in Sunday's loss to the Mariners. He allowed two earned runs on two hits in an inning of work.
EDGE Analysis
Greene was tasked with protecting a 2-0 lead, and he retired the dangerous Dee Gordon to begin the ninth inning. However, he followed that up by allowing a single to Jean Segura and a two-run home run to Mitch Haniger that tied the game. Greene is now 10-for-13 in save opportunities with a pedestrian 4.22 ERA. He'll retain fantasy value simply due to his closer's role, but there are better relief options out there.

Greene didn't allow a hit or a walk in a scoreless inning of work Monday to earn his ninth save of the season against the Indians.
EDGE Analysis
Greene pitched effectively, but he got himself in a bit of trouble when his own throwing error put the tying run in scoring position. He was able to work around the danger, however, and tied his career high in save opportunities as a result. Greene was shaky in the season's early weeks, but he's allowed just one earned run in his last 8.1 innings to lower his ERA down to 3.72. His job seems fairly secure if he can maintain this type of consistency.

Greene (2-2) picked up the win Sunday against the Mariners after pitching a clean inning with two strikeouts.
EDGE Analysis
Greene breezed through the top of the ninth inning on 11 pitches, then grabbed his second win of the season when the Tigers won on a walkoff hit in the bottom half of the inning. The 29-year-old has had a few hiccups this season, but he hasn't allowed an earned run over his past six appearances, which has brought his ERA down to 3.63.

Greene recorded a four-out save in Tuesday's win over the Rangers, allowing just a single hit while striking out three.
EDGE Analysis
This was the first time this season Greene has gone more than one inning, and he looked good doing so. Greene has not allowed an earned run over his past four appearances and is now 7-for-9 in save opportunities with a 4.11 ERA this season
