Tigers' Riley Greene: Goes deep Thursday
Rotowire
Greene went 1-for-4 with a walk and a two-run home run in Thursday's 4-3, 11-inning win over the Twins.
Greene provided a jolt in the top of the fourth inning, taking Bailey Ober deep to cut into a 3-0 Minnesota lead. The outfielder is starting to trend upward after a slow start following the All-Star break. Greene has reached base in seven of his last 10 games, and he's recorded two home runs and five RBI during that span. On the season, the 24-year-old now has 28 long balls and 89 RBI, both of which lead the team and are among the top 10 in the majors.
Tigers' Riley Greene: Another two-hit game Tuesday
Rotowire
Greene went 2-for-4 with a walk and two doubles in Tuesday's 9-6 loss to the White Sox.
Greene has three multi-hit performances over his last five games, and he's gone 7-for-18 overall in that stretch with a home run, three doubles, three RBI and four runs scored. It's a positive development for the talented outfielder, who came out of the All-Star break slowly with a .171 batting average in his first 17 games of the second half. Greene seems to be settling into a groove and could quickly build on his 27 home runs and 87 RBI, both of which are already new career highs.
Greene went 2-for-5 with a home run, an additional run scored and three RBI in Sunday's 9-5 win over the Angels.
It's mostly been a struggle for Greene after the All-Star break, but he's been a bit better lately, as he's gone 5-for-18 over his last five games. Sunday's home run was also his second in his last 10 games, and he now has a team-leading 27 long balls for the season. Greene seems to be turning a corner, and his overall stat line suggests a strong finish to the year could be on tap.
Greene, who went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in Wednesday's loss to the Twins, is now batting just .171 in 17 games since the All-Star break.
Outside of a three-hit game with a home run on July 29, Greene has only nine hits and one long ball in the second half of the season, and he's struck out 28 times. The All-Star starter was excellent before the break, and he still leads the team with 26 home runs and 84 RBI, but he is scuffling at the moment. The Tigers have a day off Thursday, which could help Greene reset before a weekend series against the Angels.
Greene went 3-for-5 with two doubles, a home run, three runs scored and three RBI in Tuesday's 12-2 rout of the Diamondbacks.
The 24-year-old helped break the game open with a two-run shot off Brandon Pfaadt in the fifth inning, one of three Detroit long balls in the frame. Greene has been struggling to find his swing since the All-Star break -- even with Tuesday's huge performance, he's slashing just .200/.217/.378 over the last 11 games with a 1:19 BBK -- so this breakout could be a sign he's heating up again. He's already established new career highs with 26 homers and 84 RBI through 106 contests on the season.
