Ben Malgeri launches first career homer in win over A's Friday
by Brenton Kemp | Tigers Correspondent |
Tigers outfielder Ben Malgeri went 1-for-4 with a walk, a homer and an additonal run scored in a 13-1 rout of the A's on Friday.
Fantasy Impact:
It looked as if Malgeri wouldn't get in on the offensive fun in Sacramento on Friday, that is until he launched his first career homer, a two-run shot in the ninth to cap his club's offensive outburst. Malgeri was summoned from Triple-A to help out against left-handed pitching in late June, but figures to see more playing time in a depleted Tigers outfield down the stretch. The 26-year-old has handled himself well when given an opportunity, hitting .282 with a homer, a healthy 14.9% BB%, and a .793 OPS through his first 47 big league plate appearances.
