Riley Greene homers and triples for 4 RBIs as Tigers top Texas Rangers 6-3
Riley Greene homered, tripled and drove in four runs for the Detroit Tigers in a 6-3 win over the Texas Rangers on Sunday.
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.
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.
Kenley Jansen pitched a perfect ninth for his 10th save in 14 chances.
Mize came off the best start of his major league career – seven shutout innings in a win at Yankee Stadium last Monday during which he allowed one hit and no walks with 10 strikeouts.
Greene homered off Kumar Rocker (2-7), his fourth of the trip and ninth since June 1 after a 29-game homer drought.
The Rangers’ second consecutive loss dropped them to .500 at 45-45.
Texas contributed to Detroit’s four-run outburst. Rocker didn’t cover first base on a right-side grounder hit by No. 9 batter James Outman that became an infield single. Elias Díaz was called for catcher’s interference. A wild pitch by Robby Ahlstrom scored rookie Kevin McGonigle.
Rocker, 1-7 at home this season, gave up three runs in 4 1/3 innings.
Two of Texas’ runs came on solo homers – Jake Burger in the third inning and Ezequiel Duran in the eighth. Burger was previously hitless in 15 at-bats.
Josh Jung, the Rangers’ regular third baseman, was a late scratch because of pain from fouling a ball off a kneecap on Saturday.
Up next
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.
DALLAS – North Texas residents are bracing for a tumultuous week of weather, starting with storm risks Sunday before shifting into a sweltering, humid game day Monday and culminating in the region’s first triple-digit heat wave of the season.
Sunday: Storm Threat
Active weather takes center stage today as a weakening cold front moves through the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Despite a relatively pleasant morning with temperatures in the mid-70s and slightly drier air, conditions are expected to deteriorate.
Afternoon highs today will climb into the mid-to-upper 90s ahead of a wave of thunderstorms projected to hit between 3 p.m. and 11 p.m. The region faces a Level 1 marginal risk for severe weather, with a 40% coverage of storms. The strongest cells could pose a threat of localized flooding, small hail, and damaging wind gusts between 55 and 65 mph.
Monday: Sweltering Game Day Forecast
The stormy setup is expected to clear out just enough for Monday afternoon’s 2 p.m. kickoff at Dallas Stadium. However, fans and outdoor spectators should prepare for intense heat and humidity.
Temperatures at kickoff will hover in the mid-90s under partly to mostly sunny skies. By the time the match wraps up, temperatures will peak in the upper 90s, with a stifling heat index making it feel like 100 to 101 degrees.
While the highest chance for remaining rain stays south of Interstate 20 and Arlington, a shifting boundary could still spark a 20% to 30% chance of afternoon showers and rumbles of thunder near the stadium. Those with outdoor plans for Monday are strongly advised to keep an eye on the radar.
Rest of the Week: Triple-Digit Heat Waves
The humidity will remain high through Tuesday before a massive system of high pressure situated to the west takes complete control of the region.
The building high pressure will cause temperatures to soar well above average by mid-to-late week. The system will likely deliver the region’s first official triple-digit days of the season, with afternoon highs topping out right around 100 degrees from Wednesday onward.
