preCharge News SPORTS — Riley Greene hit a three-run homer in the second game that helped send Charlie Morton to his sixth straight loss, and the Detroit Tigers swept a doubleheader from the Baltimore Orioles 4-3 and 6-2 on Saturday.

After Gunnar Henderson’s RBI double off Keider Montero put Baltimore ahead in the third, but left fielder Zach McKinstry prevented a second run by throwing out Cedric Mullins at the plate.

Greene hit his fourth homer of the season in the bottom half on a fastball from Morton (0-6), who replaced Keegan Akin in the second and allowed three runs, three hits and five walks in 3 2/3 innings.

Baltimore has lost five of six.

Ramón Laureano nearly tied the game in the sixth, but McKinstry made a running catch in left to prevent a two-run double and hold Laureano to a sacrifice fly.

Spencer Torkelson, who homered in the first game, made it 5-2 with a two-run double in a three-run seventh that included McKinstry’s RBI double off Grant Wolfram.

With the Tigers up 3-2 in the sixth and a runner on second, Ryan Mountcastle hit a grounder back to the mound. Brant Hurter fielded it cleanly, but threw wildly to first, but Torkelson lunged into foul territory to make the catch while keeping a foot on the bag.
