Athletics Vs. Tigers
A trio of rookies helped the Detroit Tigers open their road trip on a positive note.
The Tigers might again need to rely on their youth while trying to complete a two-game sweep of the Oakland Athletics on Thursday afternoon.
After a sore heel kept veteran outfielder Magglio Ordonez out of Wednesday's lineup, rookie Casper Wells delivered a two-run double in his place to highlight a four-run seventh inning in Detroit's 5-1 win over Oakland (20-21).
