During this weekend's Tigers-Reds series in Cincinnati, a Home Run Derby has broken out.
Through two games at Great American Ball Park — both wins by the Reds, 9-8 on Friday and 9-2 on Saturday — the teams have combined for 14 home runs. That's already the most in a three-game series in Major League Baseball this season, and there's still one game to go in Cincy, Sunday afternoon's series finale.
Ten players have combined for the home-run haul. Three players have hit more than one, including red-hot Tiger Spencer Torkelson. The Reds have hit eight of the homers, and the Tigers have hit six.
Great American Ball Park is traditionally one of the most homer-friendly stadiums in MLB.
Detroit's Riley Greene got the home-run party started Friday night:
The Tigers-Reds series concludes Sunday, with first pitch set for 1:40 p.m. Right-hander Keider Montero (1-2, 3.68) starts for the Tigers, and right-hander Rhett Lowder (3-1, 3.10) starts for the Reds. Montero hasn't allowed a homer this season, and Lowder has given up one home run.
