Riley Greene’s Two-Run Shot Powers Tigers Past Angels
The Detroit Tigers closed out their weekend series in style Sunday, beating the Los Angeles Angels 9-5 at Comerica Park behind a balanced offensive attack and some big swings from the heart of the order.
The loudest moment came in the sixth inning when Riley Greene got a pitch over the plate and didn’t miss. The Tigers’ left fielder launched a no-doubt, two-run blast into the right-field seats, drawing a roar from the home crowd and giving Detroit breathing room down the stretch.
Carpenter Stays Locked In
While Greene’s homer was the showstopper, Kerry Carpenter set the tone earlier. The Tigers’ right fielder recorded Detroit’s first hit of the game, then broke it open in the fourth inning with a three-run homer, his 21st of the season. Carpenter has been one of the Tigers’ most consistent power threats, and his timely swing gave Detroit a lead they wouldn’t surrender.
Kerry Carpenter also had a stellar game, scoring the Detroit Tigers first hit and landing a three-run homer in the fourth. This marks Carpenter’s 21st home run.
