Tigers 7, Nationals 4
Jim Leyland never believed that Ryan Raburn had forgotten how to hit.
On Tuesday night, Detroit got an indication that he was right.
Raburn, who came into the game hitting .165, had two hits and drove in four runs, including a tiebreaking three-run homer in the fifth inning as the Tigers went on to their fourth consecutive victory, 7-4 against the Washington Nationals.
"Tonight was more like the Raburn we saw last year," Leyland said. "He's been pressing, but he had 16 homers last year, so we know he has some power."
