Riley Greene drove in four runs, including a bases-clearing double, as the Detroit Tigers defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates 9-2 in the opener of a double-header at Comerica Park. The 23-year-old outfielder finished the contest with four hits over the last two games, boosting his season line to 15 home runs and an .839 OPS. Greene opened the scoring with a sacrifice fly in the first inning and later widened the margin with his three-run hit in the sixth. Detroit’s victory set the tone for the twin bill, and rookie infielder Colt Keith later pulled the Tigers even in the nightcap with a 353-foot solo homer that tied the game at 4-4. In a separate National League matchup, the Atlanta Braves surged past the New York Mets, turning a 1-1 game into a 6-1 advantage by the sixth inning at Truist Park. Consecutive bases-loaded walks put Atlanta in front before first baseman Matt Olson broke the game open with a three-run double down the right-field line. Braves starter Spencer Strider settled in after early trouble, striking out the side in the third, while the Mets’ bullpen faltered during Atlanta’s five-run outburst.
