Nick Castellanos arrived at Comreica Park within the last hour, just in time to get in his first at-bat in over a month. The Tigers third baseman drove a double down the left field line and Tyler Collins brought him home with a triple to right-center that gives the Tigers a 10-0 lead.
Andrew Romine caught the fever, drilling a two-run home run in the next at-bat to push the lead to 12-0.
Dixon Machado grounded out to shortstop to leadoff the inning.
