Tigers see signs of Upton heating up

DETROIT -- The biting chill in the breeze that stuck around Comerica Park through April finally began to relent this week. The forecast is giving Michiganders a nod to what they've been anticipating for months since that frozen stretch of January but have only been teased about since Opening Day.

Justin Upton's bat is finally starting to warm up. What, you thought this was about spring in Michigan?

"He's looked a lot better the last week, I think," bench coach Gene Lamont said after Upton's ground-rule double to the deepest part of left-center field Tuesday night against the Twins.
