The Detroit Tigers continue to trust Gregory Soto in the ninth inning.
Michael Fulmer, Alex Lange, Andrew Chafin and Will Vest have arguably been more reliable out of the bullpen, but Soto — averaging 1.240 walks and hits per inning pitched — remains the closer.
"He's got the best stuff in the bullpen," Fulmer said. "That's why he's in the role he's in. Everybody is going to take their bumps and bruises here and there, but what makes him special is he's got a short memory and the stuff to be electric."
Soto, 27, was the Tigers' lone All-Star in 2021.
