Dustin Garneau hit a two-run homer and a solo shot, Robbie Grossman had a three-run blast, and the Detroit Tigers routed the struggling Cincinnati Reds 15-5SEPTEMBER 4, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Becomes free agent Garneau cleared outright waivers and elected free agency Friday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.comreports.
Impact Garneau didn't do much in 46 plate appearances as the Astros' backup catcher, hitting just .158/.273/.289. He'll likely be looking to land somewhere on a minor-league deal as a team's third catcher, given that he owns a 61 wRC+ in parts of six big-league campaigns.

Scores twice, steals base Tucker went 0-for-3 with a stolen base, two runs scored and a walk in Monday's 8-5 win over the Mariners.
Impact Tucker reached on a Kyle Seager error in the third inning and promptly stole second, his first swipe of the year, before scoring on a Jose Altuve double. Tucker would draw a walk in the fourth and score again on a Dustin Garneau triple. The 23-year-old Tucker will likely see the short end of a timeshare with Michael Brantley in left field and can also serve as the designated hitter at times.
