Riley Greene Makes 'Totally Ridiculous' Leaping Catch Over Bullpen in Tigers' Game vs. Rays
Riley Greene Makes 'Totally Ridiculous' Leaping Catch Over Bullpen in Tigers' Game vs. Rays originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Detroit Tigers took on the Tampa Bay Rays in Florida on Sunday in hopes of salvaging a single game from the two teams' three-game set. Advertisement Detroit took an early 1-0 lead and maintained it with Casey Mize on the mound and the two AL opponents feeling each other out. The bottom of the third inning brought with it a golden opportunity for Tigers left fielder Riley Greene to make a play on a ball that began drifting toward the cramped left field line of George Steinbrenner Field. Greene hustled toward the wall and made a play that Tigers fans will remember for a long time.

Advertisement The account added an All-Star Game voting link for fans to support Greene. "Amazing bat, amazing glove, he needs to be a career Tiger," one fan said with an orange heart emoji. "MVP MVP MVP," another fan said. "Greene's back must be killing him! Carrying Tork, Carp, Meadows, Colt, Sweeney, and others," another fan added. "There's no way he's real man," another fan said. The Tigers found themselves 8 1/2 games up on the second place Cleveland Guardians in the AL Central as the day continued with the Rays tying it up on a solo home run at 1-1. Detroit is expected to welcome the Athletics to Comerica Park in Detroit on June 24.
