With Detroit Tigers starters like Miguel Cabrera and Jose Iglesias still on the DL, the minor league callups got it done in power-hitting style.
John Hicks, Jim Adduci, Joe Jimenez, and a few other helped with Tigers win 13-4 against the Twins.
Hicks and Adduci were added to the Tigers minor league system to provide some experienced backup in case of injuries. Fortunately, they were both performing well in Toledo, so they were the obvious choices to replace Miguel Cabrera and JaCoby Jones in the past few days.
