What happened: The Detroit Tigers are urging fans to vote Riley Greene into the All-Star Game as he chases a third consecutive selection. The club is leaning hard on its fan base in the closing stretch of MLB All-Star balloting, part of a final voting push behind Riley.
Why it matters: A third straight All-Star appearance would further cement Greene as a cornerstone of Detroit's outfield and a face of the franchise. All-Star recognition carries real weight for a young core trying to build toward sustained contention.
By the numbers: Greene leads all AL outfielders this season with 82 hits and a .292 batting average.
What to watch: Watch for the final balloting results as voting closes to see whether Greene secures the three-peat.
