Detroit — It didn’t matter when. It didn’t matter where. It certainly didn’t matter who.
Nothing could stop the ball from sailing out of the yard at Comerica Park Wednesday, as the Detroit Tigers and Atlanta Braves combined for a combined 11 home runs in a Wednesday doubleheader that saw the visitors leave town with a sweep.
The 11 home runs averaged 408.5 feet of distance, topping out with Ronald Acuna Jr.’s 461-foot bomb to dead center in Game 2.
Game 1 saw the Tigers jump quickly on Braves starter Spencer Strider and take a 4-0 lead behind homers from Spencer Torkelson (436 feet), Eric Haase (427) and even Miguel Cabrera (406).
