Detroit Tigers reliever Jason Foley unfazed after back-to-back HRs snap incredible streak

CLEVELAND — Jason Foley isn't concerned.

The 27-year-old has been the most consistent high-leverage reliever for the Detroit Tigers throughout the season, but in Wednesday's 8-7 win over the Minnesota Twins, something uncharacteristic happened.

In the ninth inning, the right-hander surrendered his first home run of the season; that ended a streak of 56 straight appearances without a homer, dating back to Sept. 18, 2022. Even more surprising, the Twins then launched another homer off Foley, just three pitches later.

"One of those days that the stuff maybe wasn't as sharp as it normally could be," Foley said.
