The Detroit Tigers hit four home runs before a single out was recorded, beating the Pittsburgh Pirates 11-5 Saturday afternoon at PNC Park.
The Tigers (7-5) batted around twice for the second day in a row. They won 17-13 on Friday and will go for the sweep against the Pirates (3-12) on Sunday afternoon.
The Tigers scored five in the first inning off Pittsburgh starter Derek Holland, getting home runs by Niko Goodrum, Miguel Cabrera, C.J. Cron and Jeimer Candelario.
It was the first time the Tigers had hit four home runs in one inning since June 1, 2013, at Baltimore, when Victor Martinez, Jhonny Peralta, Alex Avila and Cabrera accomplished the feat.
It was the first time they hit four home runs in the first inning since July 29, 1974, at Cleveland, when Al Kaline, Bill Freehan, Mickey Stanley and Ed Brinkman went deep.
The game was delayed in the sixth inning after Pirates first baseman Phillip Evans suffered what appeared to be a serious injury after a collision.
Evans and Pirates right fielder Gregory Polanco were chasing a pop fly in foul territory when they collided at full speed. Polanco’s elbow connected with Evans’ jaw.
Both players were dazed, but Polanco was able to get to his feet. Evans remained on the ground and was quickly attended to by medical personnel.
Evan’s neck was stabilized and he was secured to a stretcher and carted off the field. He left in an ambulance.

While chasing a foul pop down the right field line, Evans collided with right fielder Gregory Polanco. Polanco’s elbow hit Evans’ jaw and appeared to knock him out at least briefly.
