Granderson Grand
The Tigers continue to roll through the National League, taking the opening game of their series with the Astros 10-4. Curtis Granderson drove in three from the leadoff spot with a 2 for 5 night. He's now hitting .298 with a .388 OBA. As a part time player last season, his batting average and slugging averages were there, but he just didn't get on base. Jim Leyland saw something, and the walks came this season, and Granderson turned into a fine leadoff hitter. Granderson came into today third in the majors in OBA among leadoff hitters with 200 plate appearances.
