Detroit – It’s not necessarily conventional the way the Tigers win baseball games.
Most teams won’t pinch-hit for one of their hottest hitters in the fourth inning after he’s already delivered two hits. But manager AJ Hinch does. And he makes no apologies for it.
“It’s part of how this team is built,” he said after the Tigers secured an 11-6, rain-shortened win over the St. Louis Cardinals Saturday at Comerica Park.
