Riley Greene tucks it into the corner and gives the @Tigers a 1st inning lead! https://t.co/WY17m5ZYdA Via @MLB on X

What happened: Riley Greene hit his 12th home run of the season to open the scoring in the first inning. The Detroit Tigers currently lead 3-0 with the game in progress.

Why it matters: Detroit entered the day at 38-50 and needs sustained momentum to improve its position. Greene's early production gives the Tigers an immediate cushion.

By the numbers: Greene entered Saturday batting .284 with 11 home runs and 38 RBIs. His first-inning drive raised his season total to 12 homers.

What to watch: Watch whether Detroit can protect its three-run advantage through the remaining innings.
