Will Vest retired four of the five batters he faced in a one-run game to earn a save against the Orioles in the first game of Saturday’s doubleheader.
Vest has earned saves in three of his last four appearances, and he’s the clear favorite to keep closing for the Tigers going forward. That said, if there’s another save chance in the second game today, it figures to go to Tommy Kahnle.
Will Vest earned his second save with a perfect ninth Monday versus the Padres.
Vest struck out one while protecting a two-run lead. Tommy Kahnle is the current favorite for saves in Detroit, but he’d pitched three of the last four days. Now Vest has done that, so he’ll probably be down Tuesday. Vest, though, is pretty interesting in deeper leagues; he definitely fits the closer mold better than Kahnle.
Will Vest tossed a scoreless ninth inning on Saturday against the Royals, preserving a two-run lead for his first save of the season.
Tigers and RHP Will Vest avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $1.4 million contract.
Vest has been a good reliever for the Tigers for the last two seasons and posted a 2.82 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, and 63/18 K/BB in 70 1/3 innings while picking up two saves. He doesn’t figure to have much fantasy value, but he’s an important member of the Tigers’ bullpen.
