Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene became the first player in Major League Baseball history to homer twice in the ninth inning of a single game on Friday night, accomplishing the feat as part of a 9-1 victory against the Los Angeles Angels ( box score ).

Riley Greene didn't want to dwell too much on becoming the first player in major league history to homer twice in the ninth inning of a game. The Detroit Tigers' slugger hit a leadoff shot and then added a three-run drive later in the inning in a 9-1 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Friday night.
