The Detroit Tigers<\/a> haven’t been quite as dominant in the month of June, but they still have the best record in baseball as we enter the final week of the month. After a couple of sluggish performances against the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday and Saturday, Detroit bounced back with an impressive victory in the series finale on Sunday. The Tigers still lost the series, but the ability to bounce back in impressive fashion is why the Tigers are having such a good season.<\/p>\n

A couple of bad losses can easily spiral into a disastrous stretch, but the Tigers haven’t let that happen<\/a> yet this year. While things have been harder in June, the team still finds a way to put the poor games behind them, and they find ways to get wins with their backs against the wall.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur reset button has been really good,\u201d Tigers manager AJ Hinch said, according to an article from MLB.com. \u201cWe play well. We can pitch. We usually play defense. We put up a good fight against the [opposing] starting pitchers. We\u2019ll play our 27 outs. We\u2019re not playing for a certain win total in June, and we\u2019re not really after any sort of recognition on what we\u2019re doing. We just reset and play the next series. I love this team for a lot of reasons, but one of the main reasons is that we come to play every day.\u201d<\/p>\n

A big reason why the Tigers were able to salvage this particular series against the Rays was Riley Greene<\/a>. He was fantastic all series long as he went 6-10 at the plate with two home runs and four RBIs, and he also made numerous spectacular plays in the outfield. He collected three hits in Sunday’s finale.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Greene] made excellent defensive plays, and that\u2019s not even talking about his bat,\u201d Hinch said. \u201cThe ebbs and flows of the season are really hard, but there\u2019s some consistency. One, it\u2019s going to rain in Florida. Two, it\u2019s really hot in Florida this summer. Three, Riley Greene will be in the lineup. He doesn\u2019t get a break. When those droughts come whenever he\u2019s not getting a lot of hits, it\u2019s just because you see him in there every day. When he\u2019s good \u2014 like, just average \u2014 it\u2019s better than most players.\u201d<\/p>\n

Riley Greene is from Florida, so whenever he goes down there to play in front of his family, he unlocks another level.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s awesome, and I love that my parents were here,\u201d Greene said. \u201cIt\u2019s great to have a happy flight home after some long days. We\u2019ve had rain delays, a double-header [Thursday], things like that. But at the end of the day, we\u2019ve still got to win baseball games. So this was big.\u201d<\/p>\n

After beating the Rays on Sunday, the Tigers improved to 49-30 on the year. They have a good opportunity at home starting on Tuesday to get some more wins as the Oakland Athletics will be in town for a three-game series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Detroit Tigers haven’t been quite as dominant in the month of June, but they still have the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":126584,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2386],"tags":[3193,5,147,53,2583,4,594],"class_list":{"0":"post-126583","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-detroit-tigers","8":"tag-aj-hinch","9":"tag-baseball","10":"tag-detroit","11":"tag-detroit-tigers","12":"tag-detroittigers","13":"tag-mlb","14":"tag-tigers"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/114736158771700878","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126583","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=126583"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126583\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/126584"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=126583"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=126583"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=126583"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
