Soto worked around a hit to pitch a clean ninth inning and earn the save in Monday's win over the Red Sox.
Soto worked fairly quickly, as he only needed 11 pitches to retire three batters and pick up his first save of the season. The lefty led the Tigers with 18 saves in 2021, and with the closer role pretty securely his to start the year, Soto could surpass that figure in 2022 if he's able to stay healthy.
