Detroit Tigers' Riley Greene takes Shohei Ohtani deep in 4-0 win over Angels

On Sunday's first pitch from Shohei Ohtani, Detroit Tigers rookie Riley Greene smoked a fastball well over the wall in right-center field for a solo home run. The ball traveled 448 feet, marking the longest home run Ohtani has allowed in the big leagues.

Just like that, the Tigers controlled an early lead.

Ohtani, the best player in baseball because of his two-way abilities, wasn't at his best on the mound in Sunday's series finale. The Tigers scored three runs across four innings off the 2021 American League MVP on the way to a sound 4-0 victory over the Los Angeles Angels at Comerica Park.
