Green allowed one earned run on one hit while striking out two in the ninth inning, earning the save in the win over the Twins on Thursday.
Green entered in the ninth inning with a three-run lead and surrendered a solo home run to Miguel Sano, but he managed to retire the other three batters to earn his sixth save of the season. Aroldis Chapman was reinstated from the injured list Wednesday but struggled in his return, providing Green another ninth-inning opportunity Thursday. He's picked up three saves in his last three appearances since blowing two leads earlier in August, though he's unlikely to see regular save chances now that Chapman is healthy. Green carries a 3.13 ERA and 0.85 WHIP with a 10.4 K/9 in 63.1 innings.
