Riley Greene mashes Marlins with first HR, 4 RBIs in Tigers' 6-1 win
Detroit Tigers score: Riley Greene reached base for the 15th straight game, homered and drove in four runs as the Tigers won their second straight.
Riley Greene is doing something the Detroit Tigers haven't seen in 16 years. The 25-year-old reached base for the 15th straight game to open the 2026 season, marking the longest streak by a Tiger since Brandon Inge reached safely in the first 24 games of 2009. Greene drove in one run with a single in the first inning then delivered a three-run home run in the third inning to power a 6-1 win over the Miami Marlins on Saturday, April 11, in the second of three games in the series at Comerica Park.

Mize avoided damage despite traffic in the first inning (two-out single), second inning (leadoff double), third inning (leadoff single) and fifth inning (leadoff walk).
