You get a home run, he gets a home run, everyone gets a home run!
That’s the mentality the Detroit Tigers entered today’s contest against the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park this afternoon! Starting pitcher Derek Holland was roughed up early, surrendering home runs to four of Detroit’s first five batters!
Niko Goodrum got the fun started:

Just….wow! For the Tigers, it was the most home runs they’ve scored in the 1st inning of a game since July 29, 1974!
