The Tigers made it three in a row on a fun night in Chicago on Saturday. Rookie Andre Lipcius hit his first MLB home run, the bats went off in general, and Reese Olson was tracking toward a Maddux through seven innings of this one.
A Tigers party broke out pretty quickly in the first. After two quick outs, Spencer Torkelson, who had already ambushed a pair of Clevinger sliders but pulled them a little foul, ripped a hard ground ball under a diving Tim Anderson’s glove into left for a single. Miguel Cabrera rifled a drive into the right field corner for a stand up double, and it was 1-0 Tigers.
