For a minute on Friday, it looked like the old Tigers.
You know, the way, way, way back Tigers that had the fearsome power of Miguel Cabrera, Victor Martinez and J.D. Martinez at their disposal.
Before it all went sideways and the Tigers gave up eight runs in the fourth inning of a 13-4 loss to the Cleveland Indians at Comerica Park, there was actually a little spark in these Tigers’ bats.
And it started with Cabrera, who hit an opposite-field solo home run, his fourth of the season, off Adam Plutko in the second inning.
