Live Tigers Blog: Tigers strand a man in 2nd

Top 2nd: Tigers 0, Royals 0

J.D. Martinez notched a one-out single to right field, but the Tigers couldn't do anything with the man on base as Jarrod Saltalamacchia struck out swinging after working himself into a full count and Mike Aviles grounded out to end the inning.

Victor Martinez worked the count in his favor to leadoff the inning and put a good swing into a pitch that was on that sweet spot on the inside part of the plate, but he came up just shy of a home run as the ball was caught by Jarrod Dyson at the warning track in right field.
