Marked Down
The Detroit Tigers gave Mark Prior a rude welcome in his return to the majors. The Tigers hit three home runs off the Cubs starter in the first inning. Six of the first seven batters reached base (one on an error) and all six runs runs scored on homers as Granderson hit a solo shot, Guillen popped a three run homer and Shelton reached 13 with a two-run dinger that finished off the scoring. Prior's still out there in second and gets the first two batters. It's 6-0 Tigers in the second.

Good thing he rushed back to the majors...
Another win for the Tigers - 8 home runs this game! Tough series for the Cubs....
With Granderson going deep for his 10th of the year and Guillen hitting his 9th, Detroit is on the verge of having 7 different players with 10 HRs before the All Star break. When is the last time that happened?
Inge - 15
Thames - 14
Shelton - 14
Ordonez - 13
Monroe - 10
Granderson - 10
Guillen - 9
And didn't the 2004 Tigers set a record with 11 batters having at least 10 HRs in a single season?
