Greene and McGonigle Power Tigers | Detroit News

Rookie Kevin McGonigle tied the game with his 15th homer, but it was All-Star Riley Greene’s monster fifth-inning blast—his 19th of the season—that really lit up the scoreboard and reignited Detroit’s playoff hopes. Despite Greene’s recent hamstring setback and the team’s dip since his IL stint, his scorching hot streak (9-for-13, 6 XBH, 8 RBIs) proves vital. McGonigle called Greene’s power “unreal,” praising his leadership and clutch hitting. With the Tigers at a slim 0.2% playoff chance, Greene and McGonigle are proving to be the future backbone of this lineup—and if they keep swinging like this, miracles might just happen.
