Matt Tuiasosopo went 3-for-3 with an RBI before being removed for pinch-hitter Don Kelly in the ninth against the Astros. Yes, that's just as screwed up as it sounds. Tuiasosopo only starts against lefties, but he entered the day 6-for-14 with two homers and two doubles against right-handed pitchers this year. Yet for some reason manager Jim Leyland thought a .213-hitting Don Kelly was a better option against Jose Veras in the ninth inning. Kelly grounded out, and the Tigers went on to lose.

Matt Tuiasosopo had his most productive day as a member of the Tigers, homering and driving home five runs as the Tigers thrashed the Braves 10-0 on Friday. Tuiasosopo who entered spring training as a non-roster invitee, went 2-for-5 on the evening. His two-run single capped off a four-run third inning against starter Paul Maholm, and he added a three-run bomb off Anthony Varvaro in the fourth. He's certainly made the most of his limited playing time, hitting .318/.423/.500 with six RBI on the young season.

Matt Tuiasosopo went 2-for-4 and hit his second homer of the spring in the Tigers' 3-0 victory over the Cardinals. Tuiasosopo was mostly written off for a couple of years ago, and if not for the World Baseball Classic taking several players away, one imagines he would have disappeared from Tigers camp without much of a trace. However, after an 0-for-13 start, he's suddenly gone 9-for-19 with four doubles and two homers since March 4. With the Tigers still in search of a right-handed bat for the bench, Tuiasosopo now has a legitimate chance of making the team.
