Detroit — That’s a little more like it.
The Tigers flushed away a couple of frustrating losses to the woebegone Oakland Athletics with a thorough, 9-0 romp in the series finale Thursday afternoon.
After being held scoreless through the first 17 innings by Oakland pitching, the Tigers vented against lefty Hogan Harris, pounding out eight hits and taking full advantage of four walks to score seven runs in five innings.
It was a big day for center fielder Jake Marisnick. And it comes at a disquieting time for him. The Tigers are expected to activate outfielders Akil Baddoo (Friday) and Riley Greene (Saturday) this weekend.
