Detroit — So, of course, the team in a funk about its hitting, and its overall baseball pedigree following a tough May, came home to Comerica Park for some love and a few reassuring hugs.
And it seemed for much of Friday night at Comerica Park as if that was all the spark the Tigers needed to rekindle a romance with fans who were beginning to wonder if this relationship was worth continuing in 2017.
Manager Brad Ausmus’ team smashed 18 hits, three of which were home runs, seven of which were doubles, topped by a pair of triples in a 15-5 mauling of the Chicago White Sox that might have made the Tigers believe June will indeed be their time for a turnaround.
