Open Extended ReactionsANAHEIM, Calif. -- Riley Greene didn't want to dwell on becoming the first player in major league history to homer twice in the ninth inning of a game.
"Yeah, I just found that out -- pretty cool," Greene said after fueling an eight-run, seven-hit outburst in the ninth.
Greene is the first Tigers player to hit two homers in an inning since Magglio Ordonez did so in the second inning against the Oakland Athletics on Aug. 12, 2007.
The only other Tigers player to homer twice in an inning is Hall of Famer Al Kaline against the Kansas City A's on April 17, 1955, in the sixth inning.
Greene joined the Angels' Jo Adell as the only players to hit multiple homers in an inning this season.
