Tigers' Bligh Madris: Big game in win

Madris went 3-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 6-5, extra-innings win over the Royals.

Madris hit his first home run of the season in the bottom of the ninth inning to help the Tigers rally from a 3-1 deficit to force extra innings and eventually win in 11. The 28-year-old has been locked in since getting called up from Triple-A Toledo at the end of July, as he's slashing .321/.357/.712 across nine games. Madris could push Gio Urshela for more playing time at first base as a result of his hot streak, though the former's brief MLB track record before this season suggests regression is coming.
