Riley Greene of the Tiger

Anaheim, Calif. – Riley Greene doesn't want to be the first player in Major League Baseball history to win Homer twice in the ninth inning.

The Detroit Tigers batsman added three blasts to the inning on Friday night with a 9-1 victory over the Los Angeles Angels 9-1.

“Yes, I just found this – very cool.” Green said after eight outbreaks of the ninth, seven outbreaks. “But the game is over. We have to show up tomorrow and try to win another baseball game.”

The score tied 1-1 when Kenley Jansen faced Angel Greene with a 371-foot home run to beat the top of the right field wall.

Colt Keith followed closely with the left center leading 2-1, Jace Jung knocked out in a single, and Javier Báez scored two two-pointers and two shots in three straight games to take a 5-1 lead.

The Tigers' record is the best 21-12 record in the American League. Kerry Carpenter singles, Zach McKinstry doubled to eliminate Jansen, and Carpenter scored on the wild court to 6-1.

Spencer Torkelson walked around and gave Greene a history of shooting, and the cleaner grabbed the moment and put a 409-foot home run on left-handed Jake Eder to lead 9-1.

Greene was the first Tiger player to hit two home runs in the second inning against Oakland Athletics on August 12, 2007 against Magglio Ordonez. The only Tiger player to be the only inning twice in a inning on April 17, 1955, on June 17, Kansas A.

“He's an All-Star team, he's a featured player on our team, he hits in the middle of the order, he gets all the toughest games, he asks for more,” Detroit manager AJ Hinch said of Green.

“When men work hard like they do, they want to get rewards and tonight is a huge night for him.”

Green joined Angels’ Jo Adell, the only player to hit multiple home runs this season. Adell held his fifth inning on April 10 in Tampa Bay.

This is the second straight night of the Tigers landing in Anaheim. Detroit scored eight runs in the eighth and ninth innings that beat the Angels 10-4 on Thursday night, losing seven and 15 of their last 19 games.

“Our team didn't quit,” said Ace Tarik Skubal, who gave up on one run and four hits and hit eight innings in 6 innings Friday night. “We grind the bats, we don't give up on the bats, I think our record shows. They grind the starters, the reliefers…I know I don't want to face a lineup like this. Every bat, they're in it.”
