Spencer Turnbull was pretty erratic again, but the Detroit Tigers are playing some relentless baseball right now, and they would not be denied.

Saving games in the major leagues is a tough gig. Glory and disaster are the two true outcomes when an elite closer like the Detroit Tigers’ Alex Lange takes the mound to lock down a ballgame. To stay calm, cool, and collected, an ace closer has to have a consistent routine, and he’s got to

However, if there is a silver lining to
