Detroit won two of the three games on the west coast

The bats came alive for the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday afternoon.

Homers by Jake Rogers, Brandon Dixon and Gordon Beckham powered Detroit past the Angels, 9-1.

Daniel Norris had gone 14 starts without a win before holding Los Angeles to three hits over five innings.

Detroit made a couple of moves ahead of Wednesday’s trade deadline, including one that saw Nick Castellanos leave the dugout with just a minute to go before the deadline.
