It was a lopsided match from the first inning as the Tigers rout Pirates. Right from the start, Detroit got four home runs. The final score was 11-5. Some sports analysts said that the four-day rest gave the Tigers the boost to win the game.
Detroit’s offense was struggling in recent weeks. However, they found traction when they visited Pittsburgh Saturday. Miguel Cabrera, Jeimer Candelario, C.J. Cron, and Niko Goodrum hit homers in the first inning against Pirates’ Derek Holland.
Goodrum opened the home run party by setting the second throw he saw from Holland. Cabrera did the same thing after two batters. Cron followed Cabrera on the plate and sent the ball flying to the center. Lastly, Candelario capped the home run bash to give Detroit its first four-home run inning in seven years.

Cabrera had three hits, including his home run. He is now in the 24th position in total runs earned with 1,701. Also, he’s one shy away from Reggie Jackson’s record of 1,702 runs. Goodrum had a home run and a double.
