Heading into the regular season, the only question about the Detroit Tigers’ lineup was this: Where would Nick Castellanos hit against right-handers?
That was answered earlier in the week, when Castellanos was slotted second.
Against lefties, it wasn’t a question. As one of the team’s best hitters, Castellanos would hit second, with no danger of shortening a lineup that, top-to-bottom, hits lefties well.
The bottom of the lineup held up their end of the bargain this afternoon against the Red Sox. Jose Iglesias hit his first home run of the season, James McCann his second, and the Tigers No.
