Shane Greene Falters Again, Closing Job In Jeopardy
7 years agoDetroit Tigers reliever Shane Greene had yet another rough outing on Monday after entering in a tie ballgame and immediately giving up three earned runs to Tampa Bay. Greene managed to get just one out in the inning in which he allowed a walk and two homers. Prior to Monday's appearance, Greene had blown two of his previous three save chances. Meanwhile, setup man Joe Jimenez has been quite solid over 14 innings of work with a 2.57 ERA and 11 strikeouts. If Greene continues to struggle, it would figure that Jimenez would get the bulk of the save chances. It's a situation to monitor closely.
