ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) \u2014 Riley Greene homered, tripled and drove in four runs for the Detroit Tigers in a 6-3 win over the Texas Rangers on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Greene sent a two-run home run to right field in the fourth inning and hit a two-run triple high into the left-field corner during a four-run fifth inning.<\/p>\n
Casey Mize (4-5) allowed two runs on five hits in 6 2\/3 innings as the Tigers won the series rubber game to finish a 5-1 road trip.<\/p>\n
Kenley Jansen pitched a perfect ninth for his 10th save in 14 chances.<\/p>\n
Mize came off the best start of his major league career \u2014 seven shutout innings in a win at Yankee Stadium last Monday during which he allowed one hit and no walks with 10 strikeouts.<\/p>\n
Greene homered off Kumar Rocker (2-7), his fourth of the trip and ninth since June 1 after a 29-game homer drought.<\/p>\n
The Rangers’ second consecutive loss dropped them to .500 at 45-45.<\/p>\n
Texas contributed to Detroit\u2019s four-run outburst. Rocker didn\u2019t cover first base on a right-side grounder hit by No. 9 batter James Outman that became an infield single. Elias D\u00edaz was called for catcher\u2019s interference. A wild pitch by Robby Ahlstrom scored rookie Kevin McGonigle.<\/p>\n
Rocker, 1-7 at home this season, gave up three runs in 4 1\/3 innings.<\/p>\n
Two of Texas’ runs came on solo homers \u2014 Jake Burger in the third inning and Ezequiel Duran in the eighth. Burger was previously hitless in 15 at-bats.<\/p>\n
Josh Jung, the Rangers’ regular third baseman, was a late scratch because of pain from fouling a ball off a kneecap on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Both teams begin three-game home series on Tuesday. LHP Tarik Skubal (4-4, 3.15 ERA) will start for the Tigers against the Athletics. Rangers RHP Jacob deGrom (7-5, 3.58) will go against the Los Angeles Angels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) \u2014 Riley Greene homered, tripled and drove in four runs for the Detroit Tigers in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":744112,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2393],"tags":[5,399,4703,18086,400,4571,395,132,4140,360,4,9500,9501,9496,9497,9498,9499,149,624,90602,382,1567,69,3240,92407],"class_list":["post-744111","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-texas-rangers","tag-baseball","tag-casey-mize","tag-elias-diaz","tag-ezequiel-duran","tag-jake-burger","tag-james-outman","tag-josh-jung","tag-kenley-jansen","tag-kevin-mcgonigle","tag-kumar-rocker","tag-mlb","tag-package-100024-ap-online","tag-package-100502-member-choice-sports-option","tag-product-30599-ap-sports-news-s-wire-only","tag-product-32562-ap-online-other-sports-news","tag-product-40792-ap-michigan-sports-only","tag-product-40815-ap-texas-sports-only","tag-rangers","tag-riley-greene","tag-robby-ahlstrom","tag-tarik-skubal","tag-texas","tag-texas-rangers","tag-texasrangers","tag-tigers-rangers-score"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/744111","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=744111"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/744111\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/744112"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=744111"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=744111"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=744111"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
