Tigers' Justin Upton: Homers in Thursday's loss to Toronto
Upton went 2-for-4 with his ninth home run of the season in Thursday's loss to the Blue Jays.
Analysis:
Thursday's second-inning solo shot was Upton's first blast since he hit two on June 20. He's notched a hit in seven of his last nine games while racking up six RBI during that span. Overall, Upton's first season with Detroit has been a disappointment so far. The 10th-year veteran is on pace to strike out 200-plus times for the first time in his career, and hit the fewest amount of home runs he's had since 2012 when he hit 17 as a Diamondback.
