Riley Greene easily scored on the grounder up the middle and Dillon Dingler was not going to be challenged at the plate, but a smart decision from debuting rookie Chase DeLauter in center field to make a throw to third to try and catch Zach McKinstry ended up being inspired.

Hinch’s decision to remove the All-Star Riley Greene likely stemmed from his disadvantage against Tim Herrin, as both are left-handed. After inserting Jones, the Tigers effectively removed that disadvantage, yet it forced Greene out of the game entirely and was not successful.
