Daz Cameron’s second home run in eight days — this one with his father watching in attendance — and Jonathan Schoop’s eighth home run of June weren’t enough to overcome an early Angels barrage.

One night after a three-hit game, Greene nearly became the first Erie SeaWolves player in nine years to hit for the cycle, falling a single shy in a 3-for-3 performance.

The finger injury that forced Niko Goodrum out of Friday’s Tigers loss will keep him out a little while.
