Pudge hit a grand slam off Zack Greinke last night for his third homer of the year. All 3 have come vs. Kansas City. This shouldn't be much of a surprise. Lifetime, Pudge has played 154 games against the Royals. In 589 at-bats he's got 210 hits (.357), 48 doubles, 21 homers, and 101 RBI. He's got a .956 career OPS vs. KC, his second best against any AL team; he's got a 1.031 mark vs. Tampa Bay.
The Tigers turned last night's game into their first lopsided win, but not before Jose Mesa spoiled what should have been an easy night for the bullpen. Mesa has been a train wreck. He's given up 2 runs in 3 of 4 appearances, twice only getting one out. Opposing hitters are batting .467 off Mesa. I don't know if they could do any better hitting off a tee, which might be a better way to go for Detroit.
