Joakim Soria gave up a run in Sunday’s Detroit Tigers’ win over the Cleveland Indians, but it was a solo homer in a three-run game and he proceeding to set the Tribe down 1-2-3 after that.
Where the Tigers’ new closer has been extremely successful is when games are on the line and he has recently had a string of perfect innings, most of which came with his team winning by just one run.
Tigers 101 looks at how Soria is doing it. We are seeing just what we expected from him and most of those results are coming from him having a clearly defined role.
