Secures one-out save Friday Foley recorded the last out of Friday's 4-1 win over the White Sox to earn the save,
Impact Tyler Holton was pitching well and possibly could have been asked to retire one more batter with a three-run lead, but the Tigers didn't mess around with a chance to secure an AL Wild Card spot. Foley did his part to kick start the celebration by securing his 28th save of the season and seventh in the last two weeks. The righty has been a big piece of his team's surprise success this year, pitching to a 3.15 ERA and 1.18 WHIP across 60 innings. Foley will clearly have a high-leverage role in the postseason now as well.

Up to 27 saves Foley earned the save in Thursday's 4-3 win over Tampa Bay, striking out a pair in a scoreless ninth inning.
Impact Foley's now converted 12 of his last 13 save opportunities, allowing just four earned runs over 16.2 innings in that span. The right-hander is up to 27 saves on the season with a 3.17 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 46:20 K:BB across 59.2 innings.

Secures key save Sunday Foley pitched a clean ninth inning with a strikeout to record the save in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Orioles.
Impact With Detroit winning, and Minnesota losing twice on Sunday, the Tigers moved into the last AL Wild Card spot for the moment. Foley has been a key part of the team's recent surge, as he now has 26 saves this season, including four in the last week. Expect Detroit to keep leaning on its closer in the final week of the regular season as the club battles for the playoff berth.

Records another save Tuesday Foley pitched a perfect 10th inning to record the save in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Royals.
Impact For the second straight night, Foley made quick work of Kansas City to wrap up a critical win for the Tigers as they continue their playoff push. The righty needed 13 pitches to record his 24th save on Monday and needed just 11 pitches to secure save No. 25 on Tuesday. Foley has only allowed two earned runs over his last 22 appearances, and he's lowered his ERA to a tidy 2.97 in the process. Southpaw Tyler Holton is seeing some save opportunities in the right matchups, but Foley is still the top closing option in Detroit's bullpen most days.

Earns 24th save Foley earned the save against the Royals on Monday, striking out one over a perfect ninth inning.
Impact Foley was called upon to protect a 7-6 lead in the ninth frame and did so on 13 pitches. The 28-year-old has converted nine straight saves, including five in nine September appearances. On the season, he is 24-for-27 in save opportunities with a 3.02 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 43:19 K:BB across 56.2 innings.

Locks down 23rd save Foley earned the save Sunday, striking out two over 1.1 perfect innings against the Orioles.
Impact Foley was called upon to finish out the eighth inning after an Adley Rutschman homer brought the Orioles to within one, striking out Coby Mayo, then retiring the side in the ninth to finish off his 23rd save of the season. It was a nice rebound effort for Foley, who had allowed two runs in his last appearance, the first time he had allowed an earned run since the end of July.

Takes loss Thursday Foley (3-6) allowed two runs on two hits across an inning of work to take the loss Thursday against the Rockies.
Impact A day after recording his 22nd save of the season, Foley was less effective in a non-save situation Thursday. The righty entered in a 2-2 game and allowed his first earned runs in an appearance since July 30. Foley's recent success and his 3.15 ERA overall should keep him locked in as Detroit's primary closer, thought lefty Tyler Holton has also been good, and the latter should continue to see save opportunities in the right matchups.

Slams door Wednesday Foley pitched a scoreless ninth inning to record the save in Wednesday's 7-4 win over the Rockies. He walked one and struck out two.
Impact While Tyler Holton has worked his way into the closer mix with seven saves this season, Foley has recorded Detroit's last two saves, and he now has a team-high 22 for the year. The righty doesn't miss a ton of bats, as he has only 40 strikeouts across 53.1 innings, but he's been effective in his role nonetheless. With the Tigers scrapping to stay in contention for a playoff spot, Foley should continue to see plenty of high-leverage work in the season's final few weeks.

Grabs 21st save Foley got the save Saturday, allowing one hit and striking out one in 0.2 innings against Oakland.
Impact Foley entered this game in the ninth after the first out was already recorded and immediately gave up a single but worked around it to get the final two outs for his 21st save. The 28-year-old has lowered his ERA to 2.92 following yet another scoreless outing. Foley has not allowed an earned run since July, going 17 straight appearances without an earned run.

Collects 20th save Foley earned the save Sunday, striking out one during a perfect ninth inning against the Red Sox.
Impact Foley needed just seven pitches to close the door on his 20th save. The Detroit closer begins September in the same manner as he ended August as he holds a 0.00 ERA and 0.50 WHIP with 10 strikeouts over 12 innings since the end of July.

Snags 19th save Foley pitched a scoreless ninth inning with two strikeouts to record the save the in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Angels.
Impact Foley has recorded the save each of the last two days against Los Angeles, giving him 19 for the season. That's easily a career high for the righty, as he came into the year with just seven saves across his first three MLB campaigns, all of which came in 2023. The Tigers have used Tyler Holton and Shelby Miller on occasion to close out games, but Foley has established himself as the top option in Detroit's bullpen.

Earns one-out save Foley earned the save against the Angels on Tuesday, retiring the only batter he faced in the ninth inning.
Impact Foley was summoned to protect a 6-2 lead with two on and two outs in the ninth inning and retired Jo Adell for his 18th save of the season. The 28-year-old has not allowed an earned run in 11 August appearances and now owns a 3.23 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 33:17 K:BB across 47.1 innings this season.

Earns save Friday Foley threw a perfect inning to pick up a save against the White Sox on Friday.
Impact Foley quickly finished off the 5-2 win with just four pitches. It was his first save since Aug. 15 and just his fourth since the start of July. Foley has turned in 8.2 straight frames without allowing an earned run, dropping his ERA to 3.33 with a 33:16 K:BB through 46 innings.
AUGUST 24 • ROTOWIRE
Picks up 16th save Foley earned the save in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Mariners, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.
Impact It's the first save for Foley in over a month and his first opportunity since July 12, when he allowed a run in a loss to the Dodgers. While Foley struggled to close out July, he's been pitching better since the start of August -- he's now made seven straight appearances (6.2 innings) without allowing an earned run. While the closing job in Detroit appears fluid, Foley is still likely the best bet for saves moving forward. He's converted 16 of 19 save chances this year while posting a 3.48 ERA with a 1.30 WHIP and 32:15 K:BB across 44 innings.
AUGUST 15 • ROTOWIRE
Not used in save chance Sunday Foley did not appear in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Giants, with Will Vest earning the save instead.
Impact Foley last pitched on Friday and before that on Wednesday, so he seemingly should have been available for the save opportunity Sunday. Instead, Will Vest was used and earned his first save of the season. Foley leads the Tigers with 15 saves, but he's also struggled a bit recently, as he has a 5.68 ERA and 1.74 WHIP since the beginning of July. Foley has a tenuous hold on the closer role, and with six Detroit relievers now having saves this year, it's a fairly murky bullpen situation at this point.
