per Robert Falkoff of MLB.com.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\nGreene makes history<\/h2>\n
Greene\u2019s double wasn\u2019t only historic; it also gave the Tigers a one-run lead they wouldn\u2019t give up en route to snapping a four-game losing streak. With that, the 24-year-old outfielder also became the first Tigers\u2019 left-handed hitter to reach 100 RBI before September since Rusty Staub in 1978.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe can do even better and that\u2019s incredible to say, for someone who has carried us for so many games,\u201d Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said of Greene, per Falkoff. \u201cTo put up those numbers, you\u2019ve got to post [up] and be in there against every guy. I applaud him for his consistency in posting every day and helping us win.\u201d<\/p>\n
Greene was the fifth overall pick in the 2019 Draft and made his MLB debut in 2022. He\u2019s set career marks in nearly every category this year, slashing .269\/.324\/.517 with 32 homers and 101 RBI, and he\u2019s been named an All-Star for the past two seasons.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He\u2019s a major reason why Detroit currently holds the top seed in the American League, 0.5 games ahead of the Toronto Blue Jays. The Tigers continue their series against the Royals tonight at 7:15 p.m. ET.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
