Tigers’ back-to-back-to-back taters leave Texas in tatters

Detroit — Take it easy, Tigers.

That was some bashing they gave the Rangers during a Saturday night drubbing at Comerica Park, which saw Detroit slam a string of early home runs on the way to a 9-3 victory.

The Tigers got three homers in a row in the first inning as Alex Avila, Miguel Cabrera, and J.D. Martinez nearly tore apart the right-field stands with their blasts against Rangers starter A.J. Griffin.

It was the first time the Tigers had hit back-to-back-to-back bombs since June 1, 2013, when Victor Martinez, Jhonny Peralta, and Avila did in a game against the Orioles.
