Live blog: Upton homer pulls Tigers to within a run
A half-inning after Nick Markakis' home run gave the Braves a two-run edge, the Tigers got a run back in the top of the seventh Saturday night when Justin Upton mashed yet another home run -- his 31st of the season and 18th since Aug. 20 -- when he unloaded on an 89-mph fastball from Adam Blair and drove it on a long line into the left-center field seats.
Blair had struck out 10 Tigers batters and had held the Tigers to only three hits and a single run until Upton boomed yet another long ball during what has been a stunning past month of demolition.
