Deadspin | Tigers aim to ride momentum of rout into rematch vs. D-backs

The Detroit Tigers scored a season-high 13 runs on 17 hits Friday to make a statement in the opener of their three-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks in Phoenix. The Tigers hope to sustain that momentum and stay hot at the plate on Saturday evening when the teams continue their interleague set. The 13-0 romp was a much-needed result for Detroit, which remained confident despite arriving in Phoenix fresh off of back-to-back shutout losses to the struggling Miami Marlins. The Tigers scored more runs on Friday than in their previous four games combined.
