Brieske (4-4) tossed two perfect innings of relief to earn the win Thursday against the Rays.

Brieske didn't strike anyone out, but he was still efficient and helped Detroit pick up a come-from-behind, 4-3 victory. The righty just earned his first save of the season Tuesday, and he followed that up with a critical win as the Tigers narrow in on a playoff spot. If Detroit does ultimately advance to the postseason, Brieske figures to have a high-leverage and versatile role out of the bullpen. He has a 3.56 ERA and 68 strikeouts across 65.2 innings this year.
