Tigers outslug Pirates 17-13 in 11 innings after layoff
Niko Goodrum drove in five runs, two on a double in a big 11th inning that sent the Detroit Tigers over the Pittsburgh Pirates 17-13 in a startling slugfestAUGUST 8, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
In lineup for first game Sunday Romine is starting at catcher and batting eighth in the first game of a doubleheader Sunday against the Reds.
Impact So far this season, Romine has started two straight days, then gotten the third day off. Saturday was slated to be an off day, but the game was rained out and rolled into Sunday's doubleheader, which will feature two seven-inning games. Romine will likely get the second half of the doubleheader off, with Grayson Greiner entering the lineup.

Serves up game losing homer Iglesias gave up a game-losing two-run homer to JaCoby Jones in Saturday's loss to the Tigers. He got through the ninth inning allowing two runs on three hits, striking out two.
Impact Iglesias entered the ninth with the game tied 4-4, allowed a single to Austin Romine to lead off the inning, followed by Jones's homer. He then allowed a single to Niko Goodrum before retiring the last three batters. Iglesias also struggled early last season, and in spring training in March.

Secures roster spot Greiner made the Tigers' 30-man Opening Day roster.
Impact As expected, Greiner will be Detroit's backup catcher, while Eric Haase and Jake Rogers work at the team's alternate training site. Greiner doesn't offer much with the bat and is slotted in behind Austin Romine, so he doesn't look like a great fantasy option at this point.

To stick beyond 2020? Romine could end up staying in Detroit past this season after making a strong impression in the offseason, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Impact Romine agreed to a one-year, $4.15 million contract with the Tigers back in December, with the idea that he'd serve as a veteran stopgap until Jake Rogers was ready. However, the 31-year-old looked good in the spring, and now it's uncertain if Rogers will be able to continue his development in the minors this season. That could all lead to Romine returning as Detroit's starting catcher in 2021.
