Gone baby gone: Tigers blast 4 HRs in 5-run first to plaster Pirates 11-5

Pittsburgh — Talk about announcing your presence with authority, goodness gracious.

After scoring 17 runs with the help of just one solo home run Friday night, the Tigers took a more violent tact Saturday. And veteran left-hander Derek Holland hardly knew what hit him.

Niko Goodrum hit the second pitch of the game into the left-field seats. After a well-struck single by Jonathan Schoop, Miguel Cabrera, C.J. Cron and Jeimer Candelario followed with home runs, each one louder and longer than the last.
