Detroit Tigers right-hander Reese Olson pitched six scoreless innings.
But before Minnesota Twins right-hander Kenta Maeda could match him, Riley Greene — serving as the Tigers' designated hitter, rather than the center fielder — blasted a down-and-in slider with two strikes and two outs for a solo home run in the bottom of the inning.
The 453-foot solo shot from Greene, his 10th homer in 79 games this season, snapped a scoreless tie in the Tigers' 3-0 win over the Twins in the finale of the four-game series at Comerica Park.
