Jorge Montanez breaks down the week of saves across baseball in his weekly closer rankings and highlights some steals options on the waiver wire.
Jason Foley entered a 1-0 game in the bottom of the ninth and punched out Yoan Moncada and Luis Robert, Jr., pumping bowling ball sinkers at 101, 100.7 and 100.2 mph. “I feel OK,” Foley said. At that point in the season, the average velocity on his sinker was over 98 mph. Since then, it's dropped to just over 96 mph. Foley said that while he hasn't experienced any fatigue in his arm, he has hunkered down with pitching coach Robin Lund to review his body and pitching mechanics.
Giancarlo Stanton hit a tying double in the ninth inning and Anthony Rizzo followed with a game-winning single to give the New York Yankees a 2-1 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Friday night. Shut out on two hits for eight innings, the Yankees got four in a row off closer Jason Foley (2-1) to start and finish the bottom of the ninth in a heartbeat. “If we've got outs left, we've got time,” Stanton said.
