There was a point, early this season, where some were wondering if Riley Greene might have lost his swing. After a hot start, the All-Star outfielder scuffled through much of mid-April. But A.J. Hinch never gave up on him, and Greene never gave up on himself, and it became obvious in recent weeks that Greene was getting his mojo back.
Late in the evening on May 2nd, up against the Angels who had held onto a one-run lead for the entirety of the game, Riley Greene faced off against legendary reliever Kenley Jansen, and he opened the ninth inning with a solo home run to break a 1-1 deadlock.
