Detroit Tigers reliever Jason Foley earned his first career save in dramatic fashion on Friday, April 11, 2026, by surviving a grueling 14-pitch at-bat against Minnesota Twins star Carlos Correa. Foley entered the game in the ninth inning with a 4-2 lead and two runners on base.
With the tying runs on base, Foley battled Correa through 13 pitches, fouling off seven two-strike offerings. On the 14th pitch of the at-bat, Correa hit a sharp ground ball to third baseman Gio Urshela, who stepped on the bag for the game-ending force out.
The save capped a strong start to the season for the 29-year-old right-hander. Tigers manager A.J. Hinch praised Foley's composure in the high-leverage situation, calling the final sequence a "tremendous battle." The victory improved Detroit's early-season record.
