Andy Ibanez smashed two home runs as part of a four hit night in total while tallying 4 RBI. Ryan Vilade played his first ever game in a Tigers’ uniform after being called up from Triple A Toledo and delivered a pair of clutch singles with one scoring two Tigers and the other plating a run. Matt Vierling and Wenceel Perez also both turned in multi-hit games as the Tigers offense helped stop a 4-game losing skid. Tigers starter Kenta Maeda got roughed up for seven runs in just two innings pitched, however the Tigers’ bullpen was tremendous pitching 7 innings of shutout baseball.
