Greene Powers Tigers
Riley Greene Homers, Triples, Drives in Four to Secure Tigers' Series Win
Riley Greene put on one of his best performances of the season Monday, homering and tripling for four RBIs as the Detroit Tigers beat the Texas Rangers 6-3, according to AP News. The win capped a dominant 5-1 road trip for Detroit.
Greene, named to the All-Star Game for the third straight year, had three hits in the game, per MLive. The Rangers dropped to 45-45 with their second loss in a row.
Greene's Fifth-Inning Explosion Breaks Game Open
The key moment came in the fifth inning. Greene launched a two-run home run deep to right field, then added a triple later in the game, according to AP News. He finished with four RBIs on the day.
Detroit News noted that Greene is now one of only two Tigers outfielders to earn three straight All-Star selections. His three-hit, four-RBI afternoon was one of the best individual performances of Detroit's road trip.
Casey Mize Delivers Career-Best Start on the Mound
Casey Mize was sharp all night for Detroit. He allowed just two runs on five hits over 6 2/3 innings, per Yahoo Sports. It was the best start of his career.
Kenley Jansen closed it out with a perfect ninth inning to earn the save, according to Yahoo Sports. Detroit's pitching staff held Texas to three runs total, keeping the Rangers' bats quiet through most of the game.
Tigers Cap a Dominant 5-1 Road Trip
Detroit's road trip included a sweep of at least one opponent and wrapped up with back-to-back wins over Texas, per MLive. The Tigers went 5-1 away from home — a strong stretch heading into the second half of the season.
The Rangers, now sitting at exactly .500 at 45-45, have dropped two straight games. Both teams head home Tuesday to begin new three-game series, according to AP News.
