James McCann's grand slam helps lift Tigers over Angels in opener

DETROIT (AP) -- James McCann hit a grand slam in the third inning, and the Detroit Tigers routed the Los Angeles Angels 9-3 on Monday.

Matthew Boyd (3-4) allowed two hits in five-plus innings for the Tigers. His first scoreless outing of the season came on a hot day in which Detroit outfielder Niko Goodrum had to leave the game because of heat exhaustion. The temperature was around 90 degrees when Goodrum was removed for a defensive replacement in the fourth.

Leonys Martin also homered for the Tigers, and Mike Trout went deep in the ninth for the Angels -- his 18th home run of the season.
