Robbie Grossman homered and drove in four runs as the Detroit Tigers beat the Texas Rangers 7-3 Sunday to split the four-game series.
The Tigers and their league-worst offense scored five or more runs in consecutive games for the first time this season. Detroit had lost six straight before winning 14-7 Saturday.
"This really feels like a missed opportunity," said Rangers manager Chris Woodward, whose team won the first two games by a combined 10-1. "We had a ton of momentum after the first two games, and we were playing against a team we feel like we should be very competitive against.Dane Dunning walked Victor Reyes to start the inning, then hit Harold Castro before Grossman slugged his second homer in 24 hours and second of the season.
Detroit's other hyped hitting prospect, Spencer Torkelson, dropped a two-run single into shallow center to put the Tigers up 5-3.
