Pérez gave the Tigers a 4-3 lead with an RBI triple in the sixth and Báez made it a two-run game with a leadoff homer in the seventh. Greene hit a 436-foot home run to right later in the inning, making it 7-3. Carmen Mlodzinski (1-5) allowed four runs in two innings of relief.

Among all MLB pitchers, he ranks in the 92nd percentile or better in expected ERA, average exit velocity, chase rate, whiff rate, strikeout rate, and walk rate. Simply put, he's one of the best pitchers in baseball, and he should carve up the poor Pittsburgh Pirates tonight.
