Outfielder Riley Greene, the Tigers’ 2019 first round pick and top position player prospect, was promoted to Single-A West Michigan on Wednesday evening. He celebrated his Whitecaps debut with an inside-the-park home run, because that’s just a normal thing for a top prospect to do.
I’m not sure about the defense here — or those uniforms, Whitecaps — but an inside-the-parker is an inside-the-parker. Greene added another hit and drove in a second run via a sacrifice fly. Unfortunately, the Whitecaps pitching staff gave up nine runs in a 9-6 loss.
