Shane Greene, Tigers bullpen preserve win over White Sox

CHICAGO -- Detroit Tigers manager Brad Ausmus was ejected in the fifth inning, so it was bench coach Gene Lamont who officially had the reins of the decision-making in the in final innings.

He made the right call in going to Shane Greene in the eighth inning for a five-out save.

Greene induced a double-play ball to get out of the eighth, then pitched a scoreless ninth as the Tigers beat the Chicago White 6-3 Saturday night at Guaranteed Rate Field.

Four relievers combined to pitch 3 1/3 scoreless innings after starter Buck Farmer was knocked out in the sixth.
