Andy Dirks went 4-for-4 with two doubles and two runs scored as the Tigers' leadoff man on Thursday. Dirks spent quite a bit of time in the leadoff spot early on when Austin Jackson was on the DL, but he's mostly hit sixth and seventh lately, something that figures to continue. He could really use a hot streak to force his way back into the lineup against all right-handers.
