Riley Greene gave his Detroit Tigers the lead with a solo shot to right field in the top of the ninth inning at Angel Stadium. His 371-foot homer was only the start of an eight-run inning for the Tigers. And Greene did it again before the Los Angeles Angels were able to retire the side.

This loss marked their seventh consecutive defeat, and continues their ongoing struggles in pitching and late-game execution. In a historic and unfortunate turn, the Angels became the first team in the modern era to allow eight or more runs in the eighth inning or later in back-to-back games.

The Detroit Tigers have become a team to watch in the American League Central as they have wrested control of the division away from the Cleveland Guardians en route to what fans hope will be a division title.
