There’s life for the Detroit Tigers after Riley Greene, after all.
On the same day that the second-year outfielder went on the 10-day injured list with a stress fracture in his left leg, his replacement in center field, Jake Marisnick, made a big catch to open the game and delivered an RBI single in the sixth as the Tigers avoided a sweep by the Texas Rangers with a 3-2 victory Wednesday at Comerica Park.
Marisnick, who finished 2-for-4 with a strikeout, wasn’t the only surprise for the Tigers.
After two straight rough starts left his spot in the Tigers’ rotation in question, left-hander Joey Wentz frustrated the Rangers offense for 4 1/3 innings, scattering seven hits and one walk.
