DETROIT -- One night after the Tigers pulled out a win with a walk-off homer after a back-and-forth battle with the Rays, Detroit needed no such dramatics for its second consecutive win. Ian Kinsler and Alex Avila homered, and Nicholas Castellanos piled up four RBIs as the Tigers cruised to a 13-4 win over Tampa Bay on Friday at Comerica Park.
Even without Victor Martinez, who went on the 10-day disabled list earlier Friday with an irregular heartbeat, the Tigers offense roughed up Rays starter Erasmo Ramirez (3-2), whose ERA rose from 4.
