Kansas City – AJ Hinch has a kind of love-hate relationship with Zack Greinke.
The Tigers' manager loves him on a personal level and certainly is forever grateful for how he helped him and the Astros get to the World Series in 2019. But competing against him – he’s over it.
“He’s a baseball savant,” Hinch said before the game Wednesday. “I’m just about ready to be done with him as an opponent. He’s a challenge.”
Fortunately for Hinch and for the Tigers, Greinke was pulled after five innings with the game tied 1-1.
