CLEVELAND — Tigers’ manager AJ Hinch was talking about rookie Riley Greene before the game. He was asked what Greene might’ve learned from striking out four times against Cleveland’s Triston McKenzie Thursday night.
“I think he learned that McKenzie’s got a nasty breaking ball,” Hinch said. “It’s pretty simple. That dude was nasty.”
Hinch, as he’s said, isn’t going to ride the emotional rapids with Greene, who like all rookies will endure his share of hardships and successes as he cuts his teeth against big league pitching.
