Ausmus' decision to bring Shane Greene into the game was an easy, yet surprising one.
Detroit Tigers manager Brad Ausmus made the right call. In the 11th inning with options looking slim, he could have gone with any other bullpen arm. Instead, he went with Shane Greene to save the game with only a one-run lead to work with. It worked beautifully.
An already slim 5-3 lead turned into a one-run game in the eighth, after a leadoff triple to Dee Gordon came around to score on a sacrifice fly by Christian Yelich off of the Tigers' setup man Mark Lowe.
