Earlier today, I predicted that the ball would carry better in Comerica Park and that Prince Fielder would hit his first home run as a Tiger (#humblebrag). What I didn’t expect, however, is for the Tigers to put a full blitzkrieg on Boston Red Sox pitcher Josh Beckett, resulting in a new nickname for the Tigers’ offense that I saw on Twitter at one point, but have no problem taking full credit for.
Full carnage report: Miguel Cabrera had 2 homers and 3 RBI, Prince Fielder had 2 solo home runs, and Alex Avila hit a 2-run home run. Austin Jackson and Andy Dirks also had an RBI apiece.
