Tigers' Robbie Grossman not rattled by Blue Jays' four-outfielder alignment

Detroit — When Robbie Grossman walked up to the plate in the first inning Saturday night, something didn’t look right. The Blue Jays were short an infielder. Then he looked out beyond the infield and there were four fielders stationed around the outfield.

“That’s different,” Grossman said.

Tigers outfielder Robbie Grossman entered Sunday's series finale against the Blue Jays hitting .236 with 19 home runs and 57 RBIs.

When he flew out to left-center field in the first, the third baseman was backing up the play 300 feet from home plate. When he flew out to left field in the fourth inning, the third baseman made the catch.

“I’ve been on the other side of it, where I’ve been the fourth outfielder,” Grossman said.
