Tigers strike early with 3 HRs, hang on in Texas
(MLB.com Detroit Tigers)

Manager Ron Gardenhire didn`t want the rash of recent Tigers injuries infecting his team`s will to play hard. Their first couple innings Tuesday left him confident that it hadn`t. The ending left him convinced. Jeimer Candelario, Victor Martinez and Jose Iglesias homered as part of a five-run outburst over the first two innings, creating a lead that held up thanks to a four-out save from Shane Greene in a 7-4 Tigers win over the Rangers at Globe Life Park.
