Riley Greene is here, but no he isn’t the cure-all for the Tigers’ ills. The whole lineup has swung the bat better in his three games with the club, even out-hitting the Red Sox in Monday’s loss, but this is still a team struggling to get the offense rolling consistently as the cracks in an incredibly resilient pitching staff thus far start to show. They should have a good chance to keep it going with veteran lefty Rich Hill on the mound.
Meanwhile, the Tigers will show the Red Sox another rookie starter exceeding expectations in right-hander Beau Brieske on Tuesday night.
