Riley Greene drilled a leadoff triple to straightaway center field.
The ball was hit with a 105.7 mph exit velocity, traveled 413 feet and would've been a home run in 22 ballparks. The rookie immediately scored on Javier Báez's sacrifice fly.
But Greene saved the big fireworks for the ninth inning; the 21-year-old blasted the second pitch he saw from reliever Joel Payamps with one out in the ninth inning 432 feet to the shrubs in center field to give the Detroit Tigers a walk-off 4-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals.
Greene's homer followed a tying blast to right center from Victor Reyes off Payamps, negating what was otherwise a frustrating outing for Tigers bats against struggling left-hander Kris Bubic and the K.
