Chad Green wound up with a hold in the second game of Monday’s doubleheader after retiring all four Orioles he faced in the seventh and eighth innings.
Advice: Green looks like the clear favorite for saves in the Toronto pen at this point, but the Jays declined to hold him back for the ninth tonight. It turned out to be the right decision, as the Jays added to their lead, and Genesis Cabrera was able to protect a four-run lead in the ninth. There’s the chance Green will be traded Tuesday, but since Toronto has him under contract for next year and hopes to return to contention then, it’s quite possible he’ll stay put. If Green does go, Erik Swanson has his velocity back and could take over in the ninth.
