Greiner delivers clutch HR, Tigers bash way out of slump in 'big win' over Twins

Minneapolis — Their fight level is off the charts with this team.

The Tigers, trying to snap a four-game losing skid, trailed the Twins 6-2 and 7-5 Sunday but wouldn't stop hitting the baseball.

And when Grayson Greiner's fly ball off reliever Sergio Romo in the eighth inning just cleared the wall in left — tipping off the glove of left-fielder Eddie Rosario — the dugout erupted, players yelling and screaming and pounding on the padded screen.

Greiner's third home run of the year and just his fourth hit since mid-August broke a 7-7 tie and the Tigers went on to beat the Twins 10-8.
