Riley Greene's third-inning grand slam Tuesday in Sacramento was one to remember – and not just because it was the first one of his Major League career.

The All-Star outfielder put the Detroit Tigers on the board in a big way against the Athletics, erasing a three-run deficit with a massive swing that sent the ball sailing over the batter's eye in center field. Projected at 471 feet, the blast is tied for the fourth-longest homer in MLB this season.

The Tigers went on to lose to the Athletics on a walk-off walk in the 10th inning.
