Slams pinch-hit home run

Ibanez went 1-for-1 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Royals.

Analisi

The veteran utility player gave the Tigers some breathing room in the eighth inning, when he appeared as a pinch hitter for Colt Keith and promptly delivered his fourth home run of the season. Ibanez has settled in as a bench option for Detroit, giving the team a right-handed bat to complement the left-handed Keith, who is often lifted when southpaws come in from the bullpen. Ibanez provides valuable depth for the Tigers, though his role doesn't carry much fantasy appeal.
