Question: How many home runs did the Detroit Tigers hit this afternoon against the New York Yankees?
Answer: All of them!
The Tigers went absolutely crazy on the Yankees pitching staff this afternoon, blasting nine home runs and tying a Spring Training record that they had originally set themselves in 2012.
It was the most for any team in a Spring Training game since the Tigers hit nine homers on March 4, 2012 against the Atlanta Braves.
As the late great Ernie Harwell would say, “It’s LOOOOOOOOONNNG gone!”
