Niko Goodrum, Miguel Cabrera, CAUGUST 8, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Clubs third homer Cron went 1-for-4 with two walks, a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Friday's 17-13 extra-innings win over the Pirates.
Impact He opened the scoring in the second inning with a solo shot off Chad Kuhl, but it was the only run Detroit managed to score on the Pittsburgh right-hander -- the rest of the damage came against the Bucs' bullpen. Cron is hitting only .182 (6-for-33) to begin his first campaign with the Tigers, but five of those six hits have gone for extra bases, including three home runs.

Hits go-ahead home run Cron went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Sunday's win over the Reds.
Impact Cron picked a good time for his second home run of the young season, as he went deep against Reds reliever Michael Lorenzen in the ninth inning, turning a 1-1 tie into a 3-1 lead for the Tigers. The 30-year-old looks comfortable in the middle of Detroit's lineup and should post a good number of home runs and RBI the rest of the way.

Crushes long ball Cron went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in the Tigers' 7-1 loss to the Reds on Opening Day.
Impact His homer traveled 447 feet and Statcast had it at 112 mph off the bat. As Andrew Simon of MLB.com notes, the Tigers had one home run over 111 mph all of last year. It seems safe to say Cron isn't budging from that cleanup spot.

Pops two home runs Thursday Cron hit two home runs in an intrasquad game Thursday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
Impact Cron hit 25 home runs for Minnesota last season, and he likely could have blasted a few more if a thumb injury hadn't slowed him down in the second half. The 30-year-old is also just two years removed from a 30-homer campaign, so there is definitely plenty of pop in his bat, and he's a solid bet to lead the Tigers in home runs during the abbreviated 2020 season.
