MINNEAPOLIS -- It's only been five games since his return, but it sure looks like a three-day break to work on his swing and clear his head was exactly what Justin Upton needed to find his groove again.

Upton had been mired in a 1-for-31 slump in the nine games before his break, but he has recorded four straight two-hit games following his return to the lineup, collecting four runs scored, three homers and nine RBIs in the process. He went 2-for-5 with a three-run homer in the Tigers' 9-4 victory over the Twins on Wednesday night.
