Big Cats Maul Cubs
The Tigers smashed eight home runs today, tying Atlanta for the most long balls hit in a game this year. Not surprisingly, Atlanta also had their big day against the Cubs, winning 13-12 on May 28th. Prior and Novoa each gave up four, accounting for all 12 Tigers' runs. Shelton and Inge pounded two each. It's the most home runs Mark Prior ever allowed in a game. The Tigers keep their lead in the AL Central at 1 1/2 games with the 12-3 win.

According to the Baseball Almanac, the record for the most home runs in a game with no other runs is 6, by the A's against Minnesota Aug 3, 1991. I don't know if this breaks the record, though. Does this record only count solo shots, or do multi run HR's get the record too? If it's the latter, congrats to the Tigers on setting a record!

dusty gonna stay.
it's not HIS fault the team is losing
