Decked out in their Detroit Stars to celebrate Negro Leagues weekend, the debut of Riley Greene turned into a cathartic outburst of offense as the Tigers smashed the Texas Rangers by a score of 14-7 in front of a home crowd desperate for things to cheer about.
As was prophesized by, some random guy at Kroger’s yesterday who saw me in a Tigers’ hat, among others, Riley Greene’s arrival immediately seemed to make an impact on the Detroit Stars nee’ Tigers.
Rony Garcia allowed a solo shot to Adolis Garcia in the top of the first, but struck out Corey Seager and Kole Calhoun.
