Overview

• Riley Greene became the first player in MLB history to hit two home runs in the ninth inning of the same game.
• The Detroit Tigers scored eight runs in the ninth inning to defeat the Los Angeles Angels 9-1 on Friday night.
• Greene hit a 371-foot leadoff homer off Kenley Jansen and a 409-foot three-run shot off Jake Eder in the same inning.
• This marks the first time a Tigers player has homered twice in one inning since Magglio Ordonez in 2007, with Al Kaline achieving the feat in 1955.
• The Tigers, now 21-12, hold the best record in the American League, driven by late-game offensive surges and Greene's standout performances.
