Belting a first-inning 404-foot home run to right field put the Detroit Tigers ahead early against the Minnesota Twins, but veteran outfielder Robbie Grossman did his best work in the seventh inning.
Grossman singled and scored the go-ahead run to ignite a five-run seventh, helping the Tigers (10-24) to a 7-3 victory Saturday at Comerica Park. Niko Goodrum and Jake Rogers — in his first game this season — chipped in a pair of two-run singles to cushion the lead.
Detroit has a 2-2 record in the past four games and a 4-18 record in the past 22 games.
