The Detroit Tigers lineup saw a new name in it on Tuesday night, and luckily for Detroit, it paid made a difference.
First baseman Marc Krauss, who was claimed off waivers from the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday afternoon, hit a home run in his first at-bat as a member of the Tigers. His solo shot gave Detroit a, 3-0, lead in the second inning.
The first two runs of Tuesday’s game came from third baseman Nick Castellanos, who hit a two-run bomb in the at-bat just before Krauss. Tuesday was the second straight day Castellanos had gone deep in Seattle.
