Riley Greene, hitter of baseballs https://t.co/PRnPcZhWFQ Via @tigers on X

What happened: Riley Greene drove in a run with a 420-foot triple that pushed the score to 2-1. The extra-base hit added to his surge since returning earlier this month.

Why it matters: Another loud swing from Greene matters because he has quickly resumed producing after coming off the injured list. In mid-September, sustained offense from Greene carries more weight as the schedule shortens.

By the numbers: Greene hit his 20th home run of the season on Sept. 13 after returning from the injured list earlier this month. On Sept. 6, he went 4-for-4 with two homers and four RBIs in a 6-0 win, four days after his IL return.

What to watch: The next marker is whether Greene turns this stretch into another multi-game run of extra-base damage. His health and availability remain central after the early-September IL return.
