June 17 - The Atlanta Braves hope to see more of the power they displayed over the weekend when they host the Detroit Tigers for a three-game series that starts Monday.
The Tigers began their six-game road trip by dropping two or three against Houston, losing the rubber game 4-1 on Sunday. Atlanta won its three-game series against Tampa Bay but lost the finale 8-6.
The Braves took two of three games last season in Detroit. The Tigers lead the all-time series 15-12.
The Atlanta offense, which had been dormant on its previous nine-game road trip, flashed its power in the series against Tampa Bay.
