ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) \u2014 Riley Greene homered, tripled and drove in four runs for the Detroit Tigers in a 6-3 win over the Texas Rangers on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Greene sent a two-run home run to right field in the fourth inning and hit a two-run triple high into the left-field corner during a four-run fifth inning.<\/p>\n
Casey Mize (4-5) allowed two runs on five hits in 6 2\/3 innings as the Tigers won the series rubber game to finish a 5-1 road trip.<\/p>\n
Kenley Jansen pitched a perfect ninth for his 10th save in 14 chances.<\/p>\n
Mize came off the best start of his major league career \u2014 seven shutout innings in a win at Yankee Stadium last Monday during which he allowed one hit and no walks with 10 strikeouts.<\/p>\n
Greene homered off Kumar Rocker (2-7), his fourth of the trip and ninth since June 1 after a 29-game homer drought.<\/p>\n
The Rangers’ second consecutive loss dropped them to .500 at 45-45.<\/p>\n
Texas contributed to Detroit\u2019s four-run outburst. Rocker didn\u2019t cover first base on a right-side grounder hit by No. 9 batter James Outman that became an infield single. Elias D\u00edaz was called for catcher\u2019s interference. A wild pitch by Robby Ahlstrom scored rookie Kevin McGonigle.<\/p>\n
Rocker, 1-7 at home this season, gave up three runs in 4 1\/3 innings.<\/p>\n
Two of Texas’ runs came on solo homers \u2014 Jake Burger in the third inning and Ezequiel Duran in the eighth. Burger was previously hitless in 15 at-bats.<\/p>\n
Josh Jung, the Rangers’ regular third baseman, was a late scratch because of pain from fouling a ball off a kneecap on Saturday.
\nUp next<\/p>\n
Both teams begin three-game home series on Tuesday. LHP Tarik Skubal (4-4, 3.15 ERA) will start for the Tigers against the Athletics. Rangers RHP Jacob deGrom (7-5, 3.58) will go against the Los Angeles Angels.<\/p>\n
