ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Riley Greene homered to open the top of the ninth inning and capped an eight-run outburst with a three-run shot to lead the Detroit Tigers to a 9-1 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Friday night.
Colt Keith had a solo homer and Javier Báez hit a two-run shot in the inning against Angels closer Kenley Jansen, who opened the season with eight scoreless innings but was pitching for the first time in eight days.
The Detroit Tigers were on the road on Friday night in the second game of their four-game series against the Los Angeles Angels.
Of course, the Tigers took the first game on Thursday night in a blowout 10-4 and they looked to do the same thing on Friday.
That is exactly what they would do, but it took them until the ninth inning to do so.
Detroit fell behind 1-0 in the first inning after Zach Neto hit a solo home run for the Angels. Trey Sweeney then tied the game in the seventh inning after launching a solo home run.
This did not look like the Golden State Warriors team NBA fans have come to know.
The Houston Rocketsstole the will of the Warriors in Game 6 at the Chase Center in San Francisco, winning 115-107 and pushing back Golden State for the second consecutive time when the Rockets were facing elimination.
So, now, it’s the Warriors who must go on the road in a winner-take-all Game 7 against a young Houston team that is playing with extreme confidence. All the while, Golden State will try to avoid becoming the 14th team to blow a 3-1 series lead in the playoffs.
