Tigers catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia hit a grand slam for his 100th career home run off Arquimedes Caminero in the sixth inning against the Pirates at PNC Park.
The blast gave Detroit a 5-2 lead at the time.
PITTSBURGH -- Justin Verlander would follow up a rough outing like Monday's with a grueling bullpen session back in the day. Those days of those long side sessions are over, but the work involved is not.
While players rolled into PNC Park on Wednesday afternoon, Verlander was in the visitors' bullpen with pitching coach Rich Dubee, working out some issues that popped up during the 111-pitch, 4 1/3-inning grind against the Pirates at Comerica Park two days earlier.
