Riley Greene gave his Detroit Tigers the lead with a solo shot to right field in the top of the ninth inning at Angel Stadium. His 371-foot homer was only the start of an eight-run inning for the Tigers. And Greene did it again before the Los Angeles Angels were able to retire the side.

With two outs in the inning, he hit a three-run, 409-foot bomb to right-center field. The second homer made Greene the first player in MLB history to hit two home runs in the ninth inning of a game.
