Sets table in Saturday's win Grossman went 2-for-4 with two walks, a double and two runs scored in Saturday's 9-8 extra-inning win over the Cubs.
Impact The switch hitter continues to thrive atop the Tigers' order. Grossman has a six-game hitting streak going and has reached base in 10 straight games, posting a .375/.480/.700 slash line over the latter stretch with seven extra-base hits (three doubles, two triples and two homers), three steals, nine runs and 11 RBI.

Impact He went back-to-back with Jake Rogers in the sixth inning to account for Detroit's only offense. Grossman extended his modest hitting streak to five games with the blast, his fourth homer of the year, and he's hitting .450 (9-for-20) with a double, two triples and two long balls over that stretch.

Reaches base four times Grossman went 3-for-3 with a double, an RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Saturday's win over the Twins.
Impact Grossman has two three-hit performances over his last five games, though he's also gone hitless twice during that span. The veteran outfielder has reached base in six of his last seven games and has accomplished that feat at least twice four times during that stretch, though, so he's making an impact at the top of the lineup on a daily basis.

Xander Bogaerts hit a two-run homer, Nick Pivetta struck out eight over five innings and the Boston Red Sox beat the skidding Detroit Tigers 11-7MAY 5, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Three hits, three RBI in loss Grossman went 3-for-3 with two walks, a double and three RBI in Tuesday's 11-7 loss to the Red Sox. He also stole two bases.
Impact Grossman certainly did his part from atop the lineup, but the Tigers dropped another one to fall to 8-22. His aggressiveness on the bases has been a pleasant surprise, as Grossman now has six stolen bases this season, which is only three off of his career high. The veteran outfielder should continue to see regular playing time in the short term, though he's a candidate for a reduced role at some point if Detroit wants to get a better look at some younger players.
