Green retired one batter in the 10th inning to secure his first save of the season in Tuesday's 14-12 win over the Twins.
Green was summoned from the bullpen in place of Adam Ottavino to protect a two-run lead with two outs and the bases loaded in the bottom of the 10th. Max Kepler tagged Green for a hard line drive on the fourth pitch of the at-bat, but center fielder Aaron Hicks made a diving grab to secure the save for the right-hander. While Green hasn't been nearly as dominant in 2019 as he was the previous two seasons, he's been stellar since returning in mid-May from a brief minor-league assignment. Over 24 outings since that time, Green has posted a 1.71 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 44:4 K:BB in 31.2 innings.
