YESTERDAY’S ACTION: Detroit defeated Bal•more,
6-5, at Comerica Park to win the three-game series.
Starter Jordan Zimmermann (W, 4-2) threw 6.0 innings
and allowed four earned runs on seven hits with one
walk and six strikeouts. Bal•more jumped out to a
3-0 lead on a two-run homer by Chris Davis in the
1st inning and an RBI single by Seth Smith in the 2nd.
J.D. Mar•nez erased the deficit with one swing of the
bat, launching a three-run homer in the 3rd inning off
Dylan Bundy. The Orioles briefly took a one-run lead
on a solo homer by Adam Jones in the 5th inning. But
the Tigers answered back again with three runs in the
bo•om half of the 5th, including a two-run homer
by Victor Mar•nez and an RBI double by Alex Avila.
Shane Greene threw 1.2 perfect innings in relief and
Alex Wilson filled in for his second save of the season.
ELIAS SAYS: On Thursday a!ernoon, J.D. Mar•nez and
Victor Mar•nez both homered off Dylan Bundy in the
Tigers’ 6–5 victory over the Orioles. It was the 16th
•me that the Mar•nez’s homered in the same game
for Detroit. Only two pairs of teammates who shared
the same last name homered in the same game as
o!en as J-Mart and V-Mart: Andruw and Chipper
Jones (59 •mes), and Brooks and Frank Robinson (24
•mes).
HOT HOT HEAT: Righ"ielder J.D. Mar•nez, who
returned from the 10-day DL last Friday a!er missing
the first 33 games of the season with a right midfoot
sprain, blasted a game-tying three-run homer in the
3rd inning yesterday to get the Tigers back in the
game. It was his fi!h long ball since being ac•vated
from the DL, making him first American League player
to hit at least five home runs in his first six games of a
season since Tampa Bay’s Evan Longoria in 2009 (also
5 HR in first 6 G). The last Major League player to do
so was Colorado’s Trevor Story, who hit seven homers
in his first six games in 2016. Overall, J.D. is spor•ng
a ridiculous 2.118 OPS through six games this season
(.680 OBP, 1.438 SLG, 5 HR, 9 BB in 25 PA).
I WAS RUNNING!: Despite having Miguel Cabrera,
J.D. Mar•nez, Ian Kinsler and Jose Iglesias each miss
mul•ple games with injuries this season, the Tigers
currently rank third in the American League in runs
per game (4.92, 192R/39G), trailing only the Yankees
(5.79) and Astros (5.15) in that category. Detroit also
ranks •ed for second in the AL in triples (9), T-third in
doubles (70), fourth in OPS (.751), walks (154) & extrabase hits (126), and fi!h in OBP (.330) and SLG (.421).
