The Detroit Tigers took down a New York Mets squad 9-6 in Grapefruit League action on Tuesday. In the process, they put on a show of power long missing from the Tigers lineup. Of course, one member of that lineup, teenage outfielder Riley Greene, won’t be in Detroit for a while, but that hasn’t stopped him from leading the way in the early going.
Green had already made waves in his first game with the major league squad, walking twice, making a fine running catch, and launching his first home run of the season.
