Tigers win it in Grand fashion

The Tigers beat up on the Royals today 12-5. Pudge Rodriguez hit a grand slam that helped to drive off the Royals starter (Greinke) in the 1st inning. This was Rodriguez's 1st Tigers grand slam and was the 3rd that the team has hit this season. Last year they only combined for 2.

Pudge picked up 6 RBIs and Guillen picked up 4. Verlander went 6 innings and gave up his first 3 runs of the season. He struck out 6 and allowed no walks. Jose Mesa gave up the other 2 hits in a third of an inning - I am very unimpressed by him so far.

Tigers record: 8-5
