Tigers' hitters finally seeing some light after dark month
Detroit — The Tigers’ suddenly resurgent offense has averaged 7 runs, 10.8 hits and 4.8 walks over the last five games. Not too shabby for a team that was hitting under .200 collectively and producing fewer runs than any team in baseball up to that point.
What happened? Was it just the law of averages, a correction to the mean? Or were adjustments made? Did a light switch get flipped?
“Hitting is contagious,” Tigers leadoff hitter Robbie Grossman said. “You see it all the time. It takes one or two guys to start going off and here goes the rest of the team. You see it around the league all the time.
“We’re just looking to build off that and continue to go.”
