Leadoff hitter Niko Goodrum had five hits, including a pair of solo homers, and the Detroit Tigers won their third straight by overpowering the host Atlanta Braves 8-2 on Friday.
Goodrum's first career five-hit night included four runs scored and three RBIs. Nicholas Castellanos and Grayson Greiner also homered for Detroit, while Brandon Dixon added two hits and an RBI. Detroit had lost 12 of 13 prior to the winning streak.
Tigers starter Spencer Turnbull (3-4), who was activated off the bereavement list, gave up two runs (one earned) on five hits in six-plus innings to earn the victory.
