Live Tigers Blog: Kinsler goes deep in 7th

Bottom 7th: Tigers 8, Pirates 2

After Jose Iglesias lined out to third base to leadoff the inning, Ian Kinsler got in on the Tigers hit party, hitting one just over the fence for a home run off of Pittsburgh reliever, Cory Luebke. It's now 8-2, and it would take a massive breakdown from the Tigers bullpen to prevent this team from ending its two-game skid.

Justin Upton couldn't notch his fifth hit of the day, going down swinging at a ball in the dirt. Miguel Cabrera was able to draw a two-out walk, but Victor Martinez popped out to end the inning.
