Overview
- Vaughn Grissom ripped a 2-0 fastball from Will Vest for a go-ahead grand slam in the eighth inning that turned a 6-5 deficit into a 10-6 victory for the Angels on Tuesday.
- Grissom finished 3-for-5 with six RBIs, and the grand slam was his third home run of the season and his first game with more than three RBIs in the majors.
- Angels manager Kurt Suzuki said he kept Grissom in the lineup during the slump because of consistent at-bats and credited a controlled swing for the timely hit.
- The win was Los Angeles's fourth straight, while Detroit continued a slide that has seen the Tigers lose nine of 10 games.
- Grissom was traded from the Red Sox to the Angels in December for prospect Isaiah Jackson after injury and Triple-A time, and this breakout could affect his playing time and the team's short-term momentum.
