Tigers' Greiner mashes in Fall League victory

PEORIA, Ariz. -- Grayson Greiner, the Tigers' No. 26 prospect, provided all the offensive firepower the Salt River Rafters needed Friday in a 5-2 victory over the Peoria Javelinas in the Arizona Fall League.

Greiner, a 6-foot-6, 220-pound catcher who was a designated hitter Friday, drove in three runs, going 2-for-3 with a home run and a double.

Greiner split the left-centerfield gap for a two-run double in the top of the second to give the Rafters a 2-1 lead. He came to the plate in the seventh inning with his team holding a 3-2 lead, and he promptly extended the advantage with a soaring, solo home run to left field that drew many "oohs" and "aahs" from the fans at the Peoria Sports Complex.
