Will Vest Secures Fifth Save
Will Vest pitched a clean ninth inning to shut the door on the Toronto Blue Jays in his team's 3-2 win on Sunday. The Houston native struck out one and fired 16 of 24 pitches for strikes to earn his fifth save of the season. It wasn't easy for him, as he battled through three tough six-plus-pitch at-bats and had to work around a fielding error by infielder Andy Ibanez. Still, it was a nice rebound for him after notching a blown save on Saturday, and he has now gone seven straight appearances without allowing an earned run. The scoreless stretch has lowered his ERA to a tidy 1.66 and his WHIP to 1.02, while compiling a 25:7 K:BB ratio through 21 2/3 innings. He's tied for the Tigers' lead in saves with teammate Tommy Kahnle, and the two should continue to split chances late in games.
