Detroit — If you wondered what it might look like if the Tigers ever put all the pieces together for one game — witness their 13-4 pounding of the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday night.
You want offense? In the fourth and fifth innings alone, the Tigers sent 18 batters to the plate, scored 10 runs, banged out nine hits and took advantage two walks and an error.
You want power? Ian Kinsler led off the first inning with his first home run since May 21 (64 plate appearances). It was his 43rd career leadoff homer, sixth-most in major league history.
