DETROIT -- As Ian Kinsler was announced with the Angels' starting lineup before Tuesday's game against the Tigers at Comerica Park, fans with fond memories of the second baseman gave a cordial cheer, a respectful recognition of the 35-year-old veteran. It was Kinsler, though, who left with the most joy, finishing 3-for-3 with a three-run home run to power the Angels to a 9-2 win.
Kinsler, who played for the Tigers from 2014-17, hasn't shown as much power this season as he did during his last two years in Detroit, but his homer off starter Michael Fulmer (2-4) was a no-doubter at 394 feet to left field.
