Live Tigers Blog: Salty's grand slam puts Tigers on top

Top 6th: Tigers 5, Pirates 2

With two outs in the sixth inning, the middle of the Tigers order went to work.

Miguel Cabrera delivered a two-out double to the gap and J.D. Martinez worked a walk before Nick Castellanos loaded the bases with a single to left field. That's when Jarrod Saltalamacchia hit the 100th home run of his career with a bomb to right field for a grand slam.

Arquimedes Caminero came on in relief for the Pirates and got Ian Kinsler to fly out deep to left field to leadoff the inning.
